The Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded a $2,814,338 Formula Grant under the Title I State Agency Program for Neglected and Delinquent Children and Youth (CFDA 84.013) to the Louisiana Department of Education, effective July 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025. This funding will support educational continuity and successful transitions for neglected and delinquent youth in state-run juvenile institutions and adult correctional facilities across Louisiana.
The Louisiana Department of Education will sub-award portions of the grant to the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections and the Office of Youth Development to provide academic instruction, special education, career/technical training, counseling, and transition planning services tailored to help these students reintegrate into school or employment upon release from state correctional institutions. The sub-awards total $2,824 and $2,824 respectively. This formula grant program has historically provided significant funding to state education agencies across the U.S. to deliver comprehensive educational and rehabilitation services within juvenile and adult corrections systems.
