Neglected and delinquent

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded the West Virginia Department of Education $1.397424 million 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.

The award funds educational services for children and youth ages 5–17 in state-operated facilities for neglected or delinquent juveniles and adult correctional institutions within West Virginia. The period of performance runs from July 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027, with place of performance in Charleston, West Virginia. The West Virginia Department of Education, registered as the Superintendent of Schools, serves as the pass-through entity; the program permits local educational agencies with high proportions of youth in local correctional facilities to receive subgrants, and funds may also support dropout prevention programs for at-risk youth. Project records must be maintained for three years. The award is subject to 2 CFR 200 Subpart F audit requirements, and single or program-specific audit applies because the obligation exceeds $750,000.
