Fergus Falls Area Special Education Cooperative

Fergus Falls Area Special Education Cooperative is a U.S. local government entity and school district registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since August 2009, with registration currently set to expire in April 2023. As a specialized educational cooperative serving the Fergus Falls area, the organization focuses on providing comprehensive special education services and support to students with diverse learning needs. While specific details about its organizational mission are not provided, the entity's primary function appears to be supporting special education programs and services within its regional school district network.

The organization has received multiple federal grant sub-awards primarily through the Minnesota Department of Education, indicating a focus on educational funding and special education programming. Recent grant awards include three separate 2024 awards (on October 10 and August 22) and a 2023 award (March 5), with a notable ESSER II (Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief) sub-award dated August 31, 2023. These grants suggest the cooperative receives federal funding to support special education initiatives, potentially including pandemic-related educational recovery efforts, specialized learning support, and targeted educational programs for students with unique learning requirements. The sub-awards are consistently channeled through the Minnesota Department of Education, demonstrating a strong state-level partnership in delivering educational resources and support services to local school districts.
