Neglected and delinquent

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded the Kansas State Department of Education $245,348 on July 1, 2026, under the Title I State Agency Program for Neglected and Delinquent Children and Youth (CFDA 84.013), a formula grant providing educational continuity for neglected and delinquent children and youth in state-run institutions for juveniles, community day programs, and adult correctional institutions to support successful transitions to school or employment after release.

The award funds educational services for eligible youth populations, including dropout prevention and support for students returning from correctional facilities. The period of performance runs from July 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027, with place of performance in Topeka, Kansas. KSDE, as the state educational agency recipient, distributes subgrants to local educational agencies with high proportions of youth in local correctional facilities and community organizations providing services to neglected and delinquent youth. Funds may support LEAs serving youth in locally operated correctional facilities for children and youth as well as at-risk youth in drop-out prevention programs.
