Neglected and delinquent

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded the New York State Education Department $2,511,376 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 services and support for children and youth in State-run institutions for juveniles, community day programs for neglected and delinquent youth, and adult correctional institutions.

The funding supports educational continuity and transition services for eligible youth, including dropout prevention programming and services to help students successfully transition back to school or employment after release from correctional facilities. NYSED, headquartered in Albany, New York, administers the award for the period July 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. The assistance type is a formula grant. Funds remain available to the State for an additional fiscal year for obligation and expenditure beyond the stated completion date. NYSED typically sub-awards portions of Title I funding to local educational agencies, school districts, and community organizations to implement targeted educational initiatives across the State.
