• The Title I, Part D program (also called the Neglected and Delinquent program) is a federally funded program to enable neglected, delinquent, and at-risk students to have the same opportunity as students in other Title-I programs. Presently, Madison City Schools does not qualify for Title I, Part D funding. The purpose of the Title I, Part D program is to:

    • improve educational services for children and youth in local and State institutions for neglected or delinquent children and youth so that such children and youth have the opportunity to meet the same challenging State standards that all children in the State are expected to meet;

    • provide such children and youth with the services needed to make a successful transition from institutionalization to further schooling or employment; and

    •  prevent at-risk youth from dropping out of school, and to provide dropouts, and children and youth returning from correctional facilities or institutions for neglected or delinquent children and youth, with a support system to ensure their continued education.
