Formula Grant S013A250030

This $1,711,349.00 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education provides funding for the Title I State Agency Program for Neglected and Delinquent Children and Youth (CFDA 84.013). The grant supports educational services and continuity for youth in state-run juvenile institutions and adult correctional facilities, with the goal of helping neglected and delinquent children and youth successfully transition back to school or employment. Funded services may include academic instruction, special education, career and technical training, counseling, and transition planning to address the unique educational needs of students in institutional settings. The New Jersey Department of Education is the primary awardee and will likely sub-award portions of the funding to state departments of corrections, juvenile justice services, and local educational agencies to deliver these educational services directly to the target population.
