Formula Grant S013A260017

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded the Kentucky Department of Education $951,420 on July 1, 2026, under the Title I State Agency Program for Neglected and Delinquent Children and Youth (CFDA 84.013), a formula grant to support educational services for neglected and delinquent youth in state-run institutions and correctional facilities.

The program funds educational continuity and transition services for children and youth ages 5–17 in state-operated juvenile facilities, community day programs for neglected and delinquent youth, and adult correctional institutions, with the goal of enabling successful transitions to school or employment following release. The Kentucky Department of Education uses these funds to improve education services within such institutions, support dropout prevention, and assist at-risk youth and those returning from correctional facilities.

Performance runs from July 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027, with place of performance in Frankfort, Kentucky. The award obligates $951,420 and remains available for obligation and expenditure through an additional fiscal year beyond the performance period end date. Project records must be maintained for three years. As a single award obligating less than $750,000, the recipient is exempt from federal audit requirements for this year under 2 CFR 200.503, though audit thresholds apply to the recipient's total federal expenditure portfolio.
