What criteria determine which juvenile and adult correctional institutions are eligible to receive funding?
The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) conducts an annual child count survey in juvenile and adult corrections institutions to determine the number of children and youth ages 5-17 enrolled in a non-federally funded regular education program for at least 15 hours a week. To be eligible, students must have been incarcerated in the institution for 30 consecutive days on the day the DPI conducts the survey. Based on the annual child count, the U.S. Department of Education makes Title I, Part A grant funds available.
