To help provide education continuity for children and youth in State-run institutions for juveniles and in adult correctional institutions, so that these youth can make successful transitions to school or employment once they are released from State institutions.




Related Programs

Examples of Funded Projects

Funds generally provide supplemental instruction in core academic subjects, such as reading and mathematics.

In addition, funds support counseling, tutoring, and projects to facilitate the transition of children from State institutions back to locally operated schools.


Agency - Department of Education

The Department of Education ensures equal access to education and promotes educational excellence through coordination, management and accountability in Federal education programs. The Department works to supplement and complement educational efforts on all levels, encouraging increased involvement by the public, parents and students.




Program Accomplishments

In FY 2008, approximately 1104 institutions are expected to participate, in 50 States and the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

Uses and Use Restrictions

Funds are used for educational or educationally related services.

State juvenile institutions are eligible to use funds for institutionwide programs that integrate activities with other Federal, State, and local education programs in the institution.

In facilities not operating institutionwide programs, services must be used to supplement, not supplant, those normally provided with State funds.

This program is subject to non-supplanting requirements and must use a restricted indirect cost rate which is referenced under 34 CFR 76.564-76.569.

For assistance call the Office of the Chief Financial Officer/Indirect Cost Group on (202) 708-7770.
