Formula Grant S013A250033

This $1,410,537 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education is funded through the Title I State Agency Program for Neglected and Delinquent Children and Youth (CFDA 84.013). The grant provides educational continuity and support services for youth in state-run juvenile institutions and adult correctional facilities in North Carolina, with the goal of helping neglected and delinquent children and youth successfully transition back to school or employment. Key services funded through this award include academic instruction, special education support, career and technical training, counseling, and transition planning tailored to the unique educational needs of students in institutional settings. The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, the state educational agency, will manage this one-year grant with a performance period from July 1, 2025 to September 30, 2026. The department frequently sub-awards portions of this funding to local educational agencies, universities, and community organizations to deliver these services directly to the target population.
