The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded a $1,587,302 Formula Grant under the Title I State Agency Program for Neglected and Delinquent Children and Youth (CFDA 84.013) to the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). This program provides funding to help ensure educational continuity and successful transitions for neglected and delinquent youth in state-run juvenile institutions and adult correctional facilities.
Through this grant, DESE will deliver a range of educational services to these students, including academic instruction, special education support, career and technical training, counseling, and transition planning. DESE plans to sub-award portions of the funding to the Missouri Department of Social Services to support their Missouri Assistive Technology Counsel, which will provide specialized assistive technology initiatives to enhance accessibility and support for students with disabilities within the neglected and delinquent youth population.
