Formula Grant S013A230009

The U.S. Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded a $1,045,443 Formula Grant to the Florida Department of Education under the Title I State Agency Program for Neglected and Delinquent Children and Youth (CFDA 84.013). This grant provides educational services to neglected and delinquent children and youth in state-run juvenile institutions and adult correctional facilities to help them successfully transition back to school or employment upon release.

The Florida Department of Education has sub-awarded a portion of these funds to the Florida Department of Corrections to deliver supplementary educational services, focusing on four key areas: 1) improving student academic achievement and career readiness, 2) providing transition services upon entry and exit from correctional programs, 3) coordinating with other federal, state, and local programs, and 4) administrative oversight. These efforts aim to promote educational continuity and successful reintegration into the community for this vulnerable student population.
