Description
Title I, Part D is administered by the Illinois State Board of Education’s Title Grant Administration Department under Section 1401 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. It provides financial assistance for educational programs in state-operated institutions and community day programs, as well as school district programs collaborating with locally operated correctional facilities. Its central goal is to improve educational services so children and youth in local and state institutions can meet the same challenging state academic standards and achievement expectations as other Illinois students.
The program also supports successful transitions from institutionalization to further schooling and employment. It seeks to prevent at-risk youth from dropping out and provide continued-education support for students who have left school or are returning from correctional facilities or neglected or delinquent institutions.
