The federal Formula Grant award in the amount of $129,860.00 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). The grant will support educational services and programs for neglected and delinquent youth in state-run juvenile institutions and adult correctional facilities in Wisconsin. Key services funded 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. The prime recipient is the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, which will sub-award a portion of the funds to the Wisconsin Department of Corrections to provide educational and rehabilitative services within the state's correctional facilities. This federal grant program aims to ensure educational continuity and successful transitions for neglected and delinquent youth across the juvenile justice and adult corrections systems.
