Program Description
The Prevention and Intervention Programs for Children and Youth Who Are Neglected, Delinquent, or At-Risk, as authorized by Title I, Part D of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), consists of two subparts. The Subpart 1 State agency program was first authorized with Public Law 89-750, the Elementary and Secondary Amendments of 1966. The Subpart 2 local educational agency program was created in its present form with the Improving America's Schools Act of 1994. The Title I, Part D program statute was most recently amended in 2015 by the Every Student Succeeds Act.
Program Goals:
- Improve educational services for children and youth in local, tribal, and State institutions who are neglected, or delinquent children and youth, so that they have the opportunity to meet the same challenging State academic standards that all children in the State are expected to meet.
- Provide these children and youth with services to successfully transition to further schooling or employment.
- Prevent youth who are at risk from dropping out of school and provide youth who drop out and children and youth returning from correctional facilities with a support system to ensure their continued education and the involvement of their families and communities.
Program Authorization
Subpart 1: State Agency Programs
The Title I, Part D, Subpart 1 State Agency program allocates funds to State educational agencies (SEAs) for supplementary education services. These services help provide education continuity for children and youth in State-run neglected and delinquent institutions for juveniles, community day programs, and adult correctional institutions, so that these children and youth can make successful transitions to school or employment after they are released.
Subpart 2: Local Education Agency Programs
The Subpart 2 Local Educational Agency program requires each SEA to retain from its Title I, Part A (CFDA 84.010A) allocation, funds generated by the number of children and youth ages 5-17 living in local facilities for delinquent children, including adult correctional facilities. Funds may be used for LEAs with high proportions of youth in local correctional facilities and drop-out prevention programs for at-risk youth.

For more information about the Department's EDFacts Initiative, which includes data collection for Title I, Part D, please see the following page.
Monitoring Reports
The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) periodically assesses States' efforts in implementing Federal grant programs. By completing periodic assessments of SEA grant administration across multiple OESE programs, including Title I, Part D, OESE is able to gather accurate information about States' compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements, as well as information about grant performance. OESE uses this information about State and local needs to provide high-quality, differentiated support to States and districts.
Consolidated monitoring reports, monitoring protocols, and information about the consolidated monitoring process are available on the Office of School Support and Accountability's (SSA) Performance Reports page. This page also contains single program monitoring report conducted in earlier years.
Eligibility
Who May Apply: ONLY State Educational Agencies (SEAs)
Grantee Information
While only SEAs may apply and directly receive funds from the Department of Education, SEAs are, in turn, required to make subgrants to eligible recipients.
To receive funds under ESEA formula grant programs, States are required, once per Congressional authorization of the statute, to submit program plans. Each program plan must address program requirements specified in the statute. Section 8303 of the ESEA, however, permits the Department to simplify application requirements and reduce the burden on States by establishing procedures for States to submit a single Consolidated State Plan that addresses multiple programs.
Each State submitted a Consolidated State Plan in 2017 in order to receive funds under nine formula Grant programs, including Title I, Part D. Copies of all current State plans, as well as information about the State plan process, may be found at https://oese.ed.gov/offices/office-of-formula-grants/school-support-and-accountability/essa-consolidated-state-plans/.
Awards to Subgrantees
Title I, Part D, Subpart 1 — State Agency Programs
Who is eligible to receive Title I, Part D, Subpart 1 funds?
A State agency (i.e. Department of Corrections, Department of Youth Services, etc.) that is responsible for providing free public education for children and youth residing in Neglected (N) or Delinquent (D) institutions, attending community day programs for N or D children, or residing in adult correctional institutions where the average length of stay is at least 30 days.
How does a State agency apply for Title I, Part D, Subpart 1 funds?
Any State agency that desires to receive funds to carry out a program must submit an application to its State Educational Agency (SEA). Applications are available by contacting the State Title I office. Deadlines for application submission are determined by the SEA.
How long can applications be funded?
If a State agency operates a program in which individual children are likely to participate for more than one year, the SEA may approve the State agency's application for a period of not more than three years.
What children and youth are eligible to receive services?
A child or youth must be 21 years of age or younger, entitled to a free public education not above grade 12, and enrolled in a regular program of instruction for at least 20 hours per week if the program is at an institution or community day program for N or D youth, or 15 hours per week if at an adult correctional institution.
Must the State agency provide services for all eligible children in all its eligible institutions?
Based on its needs assessment, the State agency may, at its discretion, concentrate services on children and institutions with the greatest need for the services. If the State agency receives sufficient Title I, Part D resources, it may serve all the eligible children in all of its eligible institutions.
Title I Part D, Subpart 2 — Local Agency Programs
How do States receive Title I, Part D, Subpart 2 funds?
States receive funds for Title I, Part D, Subpart 2 as part of their Title I, Part A grants (CFDA 84.010A).
How are subgrants awarded to LEAs?
From funds retained by the State for Title I Part D, Subpart 2 purposes, the SEA awards subgrants to eligible LEAs with high numbers or percentages of children and youth residing in locally operated correctional facilities, including institutions and community day programs for delinquent children. The SEA has the option of awarding subgrants to eligible LEAs by formula or through a discretionary grant process.
Who is eligible to receive funds set aside for Title I Part D, Subpart 2 purposes?
The SEA must develop procedures for determining and notifying eligible LEAs within their State that are eligible to receive subpart 2 funds based on high numbers or percentages of children and youth in locally operated correctional facilities and delinquent institutions.
How does an LEA apply for funds?
To receive Title I, Part D, Subpart 2 funds, each eligible LEA must apply to the SEA as outlined in Section 1423 of Title I. An LEA application must include a description of the program(s) to be assisted with these funds and describe the formal agreements between itself and the local correctional facilities or institutions for delinquent children and other local programs that serve delinquent or at-risk children and youth. The date for application submission is determined by the SEA.

Regulations
Title I, Part D program-specific regulations address important program definitions and State educational agency counts of eligible children.
The Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (commonly called "Uniform Guidance") was adopted by the Department in December 2014, 2 CFR Part 3474, and provides a government-wide framework for grants management and sets an authoritative set of rules and requirements for Federal awards that synthesizes and supersedes guidance from earlier OMB circulars. The Uniform Guidance addresses such issues as addresses time and effort certifications, indirect cost reimbursement, timely obligation of funds and carryover, financial management rules, program income, record retention, property/equipment/supplies inventory controls, procurement, monitoring, conflicts, travel policies, and allowable costs.
The Education Department of General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR), 34 CFR Parts 75, 76, and 77, are the federal regulations that govern all federal grants awarded by the U.S. Department of Education. EDGAR is read in conjunction with the authorizing statutes, program-specific regulations, the Uniform Guidance, and Federal Register documents, such as Notices Inviting Applications and Notices of Final Priorities.

Title I, Part D, Subpart 2 Amounts Available to States (States receive Title I, Part D, Subpart 2 Funds as part of their Title I, Part A awards (CFDA 84.010A))
Actual amounts available to States for Subpart 2 will be smaller than shown here due to State-level adjustments to Federal Title I allocations. States adjust allocations, for example, to reflect LEA boundary changes or the creation of new LEAs, including charter school LEAs, that are not accounted for in the statutory calculations. States are also permitted to reserve, for administration, up to 1 percent of the allocations they would receive if $14 billion were appropriated and generally must reserve 7 percent of their allocations for school improvement. These adjustments will reduce the actual amount available for Subpart 2 purposes.

* Under the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, the U.S. Department of Education (ED) awarded a portion of the fiscal year (FY) 2024 Title I, Part A funds on July 1, 2024, and will award the remaining funds on October 1, 2024. The estimated FY 2024 Title I, Part D, Subpart 2 amounts included in this table are based on final FY 2024 Title I, Part A allocations, which were used to determine the amount each State received on July 1 and to estimate the amount each State will receive on October 1. Typically, ED must issue revised final Title I, Part A allocations in September, which determine actual amount each State will receive on October 1. Therefore, this column is labeled as an estimate.
