Neglected and delinquent

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded the Texas Education Agency $2,605,906 under the Title I State Agency Program for Neglected and Delinquent Children and Youth (CFDA 84.013) on July 1, 2026. This formula grant funds educational services for neglected and delinquent children and youth in State-run institutions for juveniles, community day programs, and adult correctional institutions in Texas. The program supports educational continuity and assists youth in making successful transitions to school or employment upon release. TEA administers the award with a period of performance through September 30, 2027, and distributes funds as subgrants to local educational agencies with high concentrations of youth in local correctional facilities and to State agencies providing free public education to eligible youth. Services include improving education delivery, dropout prevention, and support for students returning from correctional facilities. Project records must be maintained for three years following the award period.
