Neglected and delinquent

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded a $964,722 formula grant to the Nevada Department of Education (NDOE) under the Title I State Agency Program for Neglected and Delinquent Children and Youth (CFDA 84.013). This funding supports educational continuity for neglected and delinquent children and youth in state-run juvenile institutions and adult correctional facilities in Nevada.

Through this grant, NDOE is subawarding funds to the Nevada Department of Corrections, Division of Child and Family Services, and Independence High School to implement programs that prepare these youth for successful transitions back to school or employment upon release. Key services include substance abuse treatment, juvenile justice programming, foster care support, and general educational services aimed at improving outcomes for this vulnerable population.
