Neglected and delinquent

The federal Formula Grant award of $984,944.00 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 offers formula grants 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 award to the Wyoming Department of Education will 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. The Wyoming Department of Education may sub-award portions of the funding to local educational agencies, juvenile justice departments, and correctional facilities across the state to implement the program effectively.
