The Oklahoma State Department of Education received a $266,463 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Title I State Agency Program for Neglected and Delinquent Children and Youth (CFDA 84.013). The grant supports the provision of educational services to neglected and delinquent children and youth in state-run institutions. Specifically, the funding helps provide educational continuity so these youth can successfully transition back to school or employment upon release.
A sub-award of $50,000 was also provided to the Oklahoma Office of Juvenile Affairs to support comparable educational programming for children and youth in local correctional facilities, so they can participate in educational opportunities similar to those offered in the schools they would otherwise attend. The sub-award helps ensure these youth can also smoothly reintegrate into local schools or the workforce upon completion of their sentences.
