Title I, Part D, Subpart 2, 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, Part D,
Subpart 2, count of children deemed neglected or delinquent in your school divisions. This annual report provides the United States
Department of Education (USED) 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 USED to
calculate the 2009-2010 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 2008 caseload data as
explained below. 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, or (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 2008.
Attachment
A includes instructions and definitions.
Attachment B is the report form that school divisions will return to the
Virginia Department of Education. The
report form may be adapted as needed to collect data from each eligible school,
institution, or program in the school division.
Before returning the report to the Department, please aggregate the data
from the individual reports. The final
report should indicate the total number of neglected or delinquent children and
youth for the school division (Section A) and the source for this total
(Section B).
Please
submit the report form by fax to Janet Farber, support staff, Office of Program
Administration and Accountability, at (804)371-7347 on or before Wednesday, December
3, 2008. If you have questions, please
contact Diane Jay, associate director, by e-mail at Diane.Jay@doe.virginia.gov, or by
