Neglected and delinquent

Federal Grant Award Summary

The Wyoming Department of Education received a formula grant award of $245,232 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). The award, effective July 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, supports educational services for neglected and delinquent youth in state-run juvenile institutions and adult correctional facilities across Wyoming.

Under this grant, the Wyoming Department of Education delivers comprehensive educational interventions including academic instruction, special education support, career and technical training, counseling, and transition planning services. These offerings are designed to facilitate successful reintegration of youth into mainstream educational settings or employment upon release from institutional care. The department administers these services directly and through subgrants to state agencies and local educational agencies that operate or oversee correctional and juvenile justice facilities, ensuring educational continuity and supporting successful transitions for the target population.
