Neglected and delinquent

The Nevada Department of Education received a $679,222 formula grant from 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), awarded July 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2026. This grant funds educational services and support for neglected and delinquent youth in state-run juvenile institutions and adult correctional facilities throughout Nevada. The program delivers comprehensive educational interventions including academic instruction, special education support, career and technical training, counseling, and transition planning services designed to facilitate successful reintegration of participating students to school or employment.

As the State Educational Agency, Nevada Department of Education administers these funds through sub-awards to state agencies responsible for operating educational programs within correctional and institutional settings. The grant supports educational continuity and evidence-based services that enable neglected and delinquent youth to achieve successful transitions upon release or completion of their institutional placements.
