| FEDERAL AGENCY |
| OFFICE OF ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION, DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION |
| AUTHORIZATION |
| Elementary and Secondary Education Act; Title I, Part D, Subpart 1. |
| OBJECTIVES |
| 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. |
| TYPES OF ASSISTANCE |
| Formula Grants. |
| 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. |
| Applicant Eligibility |
| State educational agencies (SEAs). State agencies responsible for providing free public education for those children in institutions who are neglected or delinquent, responsible for children who are enrolled in education programs in adult correctional facilities, and responsible for those children in community day programs who are neglected or delinquent may apply to their state education agencies for subgrants. |
| Beneficiary Eligibility |
| Children in a State institution for neglected or delinquent children, or in an adult correctional institution, or a community day school operated by a State agency. |

To receive funds State agencies must apply to the SEA and provide information and assurance required in Section 1414 of ESEA. |

| Renewals |
| Although State plans are effective for the duration of Title I's authorization, SEAs are required to update plans to reflect changes. State agencies must update their applications annually to receive funds. |
| Formula and Matching Requirements |
| Funds are allocated through a formula based on the number of children in State-operated institutions and per-pupil education expenditures for the State. Each State's allocation is generated by child counts in State institutions that provide at least 20 hours of instruction from nonfederal funds; adult correctional institutions must provide 15 hours a week. |
| Length and Time Phasing of Assistance |
| Generally, awards to States are made from July 1 to September 30 of the following year. In addition, funds remain available to the State for an additional fiscal year for obligation and expenditure. |
| Reports |
| Each State agency conducting a Part D program is required to evaluate the program's impact on students served at least once every three years. |
