Neglected and delinquent

The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education has awarded a $986,142 Formula Grant under the Title I State Agency Program for Neglected and Delinquent Children and Youth (CFDA 84.013) to the California Department of Education Fiscal and Administrative Services Division. This grant, with a performance period from July 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025, will provide educational continuity and support services for neglected and delinquent youth in state-run juvenile institutions and adult correctional facilities across California.

Typical services funded under this program include academic instruction, special education, career and technical training, counseling, and transition planning to help these students successfully reintegrate into school or employment upon release. As the primary state-level recipient, the California Department of Education will sub-award portions of the funding to local educational agencies, juvenile justice departments, and correctional facilities to implement these educational initiatives for neglected and delinquent youth.
