The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded a $255,246 Formula Grant to the Montana Office of Public Instruction under the Title I State Agency Program for Neglected and Delinquent Children and Youth (CFDA 84.013). The grant aims to provide educational continuity for neglected and delinquent youth in state-run institutions and adult correctional facilities in Montana, with the goal of facilitating successful school or employment transitions upon release.
As the state administering agency, the Montana Office of Public Instruction will oversee grant funds and programming through September 30, 2022. This includes allocating $84,013 to the Montana Department of Corrections to support educational services for incarcerated youth and adults. Both agencies will work to establish educational programs and support services to help neglected and delinquent individuals in their care obtain the skills needed to reintegrate into educational or workforce settings once they leave state institutions.
