U.S. Department of Education: Unpacking the Secrets of Title I, Part D to Serve At-Risk Youth
Did you know that Title I, Part D funds can be a powerful tool to support students facing some of the toughest challenges? These funds can be used to serve youth who are at risk of academic failure, involved with the juvenile justice or child welfare systems, dealing with substance use, parenting at a young age, struggling with chronic absenteeism, or who have dropped out and returned to school. They also support English learners, students behind grade level, and those affected by gang involvement.
Unfortunately, many school systems receiving Subpart 2 funding are not fully accessing this critical resource. This session will shine a spotlight on the often-overlooked potential of Title I, Part D to uplift at-risk students. Join us as we explore how to effectively access and use these funds, share proven strategies for student success, and help ensure that no student falls through the cracks.
This presentation will be conducted by representatives from the U.S. Department of Education and The National Training and Technical Assistance Center for the Education of Neglected, Delinquent, or At-Risk Children and Youth (NDTAC).
This talk was presented at:
2026 National ESEA Conference
February 2026
in
Denver, CO
