TA Questions: Annual Count (1)
1. Should youth be adjudicated or court ordered in order to be counted as delinquent on the annual count?
2. Can our state change their Subpart 2 annual count window to maximize numbers?
3. The annual count generates a lot more funds for Subpart 2 short term facilities in my state, is there a way to more evenly distribute funds to long term facilities?
9
Who Is Included in LEA’s Delinquent Count?
• Per the statute (Subpart 3: Sec. 1432: Definitions), youth who are delinquent have been adjudicated to be delinquent or in need of supervision.
• The count is based on an eligible facility’s October caseload. Any child or youth residing in an eligible institution may be counted if the youth: – Is 5-17 years old during the count window and– Has not also been counted in the State agency (SA)
annual count or other Title I funding stream count. • NDTAC’s annual count toolkit includes a
requirements checklist to help you determine count eligibility for LEAs/SAs, facilities, and children/youth, as well as the count window.

October. • The SEA may set the window for all LEAs, or it may allow LEAs and facilities to choose their
windows independently.

Section M-1 of Nonregulatory Guidance
The SEA has the option of awarding subgrants to eligible LEA s by formula or through a discretionary grant process. If an SEA chooses to award Subpart 2 subgrants on a discretionary basis, it may establish criteria or priorities or both, consistent with State requirements for awarding grants. If an SEA distributes funds through a formula, it may allocate funds proportionately among the eligible LEAs based on each LEA ’s proportionate share of children in correctional facilities or delinquent institutions. In either case, the SEA must develop procedures for determining and notifying LEAs within the State that they are eligible to receive Subpart 2 funds.

TA Questions: Neglect Programs (1)

2. Do other States using TIPA for their neglect programs also not report data for the CSPR?

2. Do other States using TIPA for their neglect programs also not report data for the CSPR?
18
Part D Part A
Funds may be used for a broader purpose than comparable services in a State or local neglect
program.
Funds are used within a local neglect facility to provide comparable
services.
Do Other States Using TIPA for Their Neglect Programs Also Not Report Data for the CSPR?
19
Do Other States Using TIPA for Their Neglect Programs Also Not Report Data for the CSPR?
• To our knowledge, there is no CSPR data collection for TIPA.
• Neglect programs that only receive TIPA funding should not be included in the TIPD section of the CSPR.
• However, if programs receive both TIPA and TIPD funds, only the students who benefit from the TIPD funding should be reported in the CSPR.
• This information is available in more detail in the CSPR Instructional Guide (http://www.neglected-delinquent.org/resource/instructional-guide-reporting-title-i-part-d-data-cspr-sy-2013-14).

• Revised December 2014
• Reflects reorganization that moved the TIPD program to OSHS
Federal Monitoring
22
Federal Monitoring
Monitoring indicators:
• Used by ED to determine degree of implementation of federal programs and activities administered by SEAs in three areas:
I. Standards, Assessment, and Accountability
II. Instructional Support
III. Fiduciary• Criteria ensure consistent application of standards across
monitoring teams and states• Provide guidance for all states re: purpose and intended
outcomes of monitoring by describing what is being monitored and providing criteria for judging the quality of implementation (acceptable evidence)
