Title I Part D: Neglected, Delinquent, or At-Risk

Program Purpose

The general purpose of the Neglected and Delinquent programs is to improve educational services for children and youth in local and state institutions for neglected or delinquent children, providing them with the opportunity to meet the same rigorous state academic content standards that are expected of all students. The program provides needed services for children and youth to make a successful transition from institutionalization to further schooling or employment. The intent of the program is to prevent at-risk youth from dropping out of school and to provide them with a support system to ensure their continued education toward a high school diploma.

Students who are eligible to be served are those living in local delinquent facilities who are 21 years of age or younger

Neglected Facilities
