Planning and Funding

A number of tasks are involved in planning for and administering Title I, Part D (Part D), funding. Each year the key tasks that Part D coordinators are responsible for include:

  1. Conducting the Annual Child Count;
  2. Completing the application process for funding;
  3. Developing and implementing institutionwide projects (IWPs) within participating State agencies (SAs); and
  4. Understanding the State Plan and planning for and funding Part D programs accordingly.

This page provides resources and tools that Part D coordinators at every level of program administration can use to plan for and fund programs for youth who are neglected or delinquent (N or D).


Institutionwide Projects (IWPs)

Institutionwide projects (IWPs) allow Title I, Part D (Part D), Subpart 1-funded juvenile correctional institutions and neglect facilities that provide free public education for children and youth who are neglected or delinquent (N or D) to use Part D funds in coordination with other Federal and/or State funds to serve all of their students. IWPs allow a State agency (SA) facility to upgrade the entire educational and transition efforts of its institution or program.
