Formula Grant S013A240003

The federal Formula Grant award of $169,539.00 was provided by 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). This program provides funding to state education agencies to support educational continuity and successful transitions for neglected and delinquent youth in state-run juvenile institutions and adult correctional facilities. The grant award to the Arizona Department of Education (ADE), which serves as the state education agency, will be used to fund academic instruction, special education support, career and technical training, counseling, and transition planning services to help these students reintegrate into school or employment upon release. ADE typically sub-awards portions of the grant funding to local educational agencies, juvenile justice departments, and correctional facilities across the state to implement these critical educational and support services for neglected and delinquent youth.
