Educational Service District 105

Educational Service District 105 (ESD 105) is a U.S. local government entity and school district based in Yakima, Washington, registered in SAM.gov since November 2005. As a regional educational agency, ESD 105 serves multiple school districts in south-central Washington, providing administrative, technical, and support services to local educational institutions. The organization is authorized to receive federal grant awards and has consistently secured project grants from various federal agencies to support educational initiatives, community development, and student support programs across the region.

ESD 105 has been awarded multiple federal grants focusing primarily on educational, mental health, and community support services. Key grant programs include mental health integration projects through SAMHSA, such as the South-Central Washington School-Based Mental Health Integration Project and Project AWARE, which aim to provide trauma-informed mental health services to children and youth in rural school districts. The organization has also received grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education for programs like the Yakima Consortium Full-Service Community Schools, Washington State Teacher Academies, and Innovative Approaches to Literacy. Additionally, ESD 105 has been instrumental in sub-award partnerships, particularly with the Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction, administering grants for special education, community learning centers, Title I programs, and COVID-19 emergency relief funds. These grants consistently target underserved populations, including Hispanic, Native American, and rural student communities, with a focus on improving academic outcomes, mental health support, and community engagement.
