SUBJECT: |
2003 Title I Count of Children Who Are Neglected or Delinquent (N or D) |
Attached are instructions and a report form to be
used to complete the Title I count of children deemed neglected or delinquent
in your school division. This annual
report provides the U.S. Department of Education with current information on
the location and number of children who live in local institutions for
neglected or delinquent children or who are in local adult correctional
facilities. The information will be
used by the U.S. Department of Education to calculate the 2004-2005 allocations
for programs that serve neglected or delinquent children. The information
collected locally should not include neglected or delinquent children enrolled
in state-operated institutions and programs.
Report your neglected or delinquent count based on
your October 2003 caseload. This count
must reflect the following:
the number of children, ages 5-17, inclusive, who
live in (1) local institutions for neglected children, (2) local institutions
for delinquent children, and (3) local adult correctional institutions; and
children who resided in an eligible institution for
at least 30 consecutive days, at least one of which was in October 2003.
Attachment A includes
instructions and definitions. Attachment
B is the report form that will be returned to the Department of Education. The report form may be adapted and used to
collect data from each eligible school, institution, or program in the school
division. Aggregate the data from the
individual reports to show the total number of neglected or delinquent children
and youth for the school division.
Please submit the report
form by fax to Diane Jay, specialist, Office of Program Administration
and Accountability at (804) 371-7347 no later than Friday, December 5,
2003. If you have questions, please
contact Ms. Jay by e-mail at djay@mail.vak12ed.edu,
or by phone at (804) 225-2095.
