This program team
helps coordinate programs that improve educational services for children and youth
in local and state institutions for neglected or delinquent children and youth. Funded
under Title I, Part D, the program aims to provide:
- Educational opportunities
for neglected, delinquent, and at-risk children and youth to meet the same challenging
state academic content standards and academic achievement standards that all children
are expected to meet;
- Services needed to
help these children and youth make successful transitions from institutionalization
to further schooling or employment;
- Programs and support
to prevent at-risk youth from dropping out of school; and
- Support systems to
encourage dropouts and children or youth returning from correctional facilities or
institutions for neglected or delinquent youth to continue their education.
