Summary

Using funds from section 6422(b), the state education agency must give grants to local school districts that have many children living in locally run juvenile correctional facilities, including county-run facilities and community day programs. The state must tell districts if they are eligible for these grants. A district that serves a school in a correctional facility does not have to run a reentry program if more than 30 percent of the students from that facility will live outside the district after release. Any transitional or support programs paid for this way must mainly help students returning from correctional facilities with their school and transition needs. Helping students who are at risk of dropping out must not reduce the support for those returning students.

(a)With funds made available under section 6422(b) of this title, the State educational agency shall award subgrants to local educational agencies with high numbers or percentages of children and youth residing in locally operated (including county operated) correctional facilities for children and youth (including facilities involved in community day programs).

(b)A local educational agency that serves a school operated by a correctional facility is not required to operate a program of support for children and youth returning from such school to a school that is not operated by a correctional agency but served by such local educational agency, if more than 30 percent of the children and youth attending the school operated by the correctional facility will reside outside the boundaries served by the local educational agency after leaving such facility.

(c)A State educational agency shall notify local educational agencies within the State of the eligibility of such agencies to receive a subgrant under this subpart.

(d)Transitional and supportive programs operated in local educational agencies under this subpart shall be designed primarily to meet the transitional and academic needs of students returning to local educational agencies or alternative education programs from correctional facilities. Services to students at-risk of dropping out of school shall not have a negative impact on meeting such transitional and academic needs of the students returning from correctional facilities.
