Eugene School District 4J

Eugene School District 4J, doing business as Eugene Public School, is a U.S. local government school district that receives federal grant funding directly from the Department of Education as a prime grant recipient and passes through sub-awards from the Oregon Department of Education to support K-12 educational programs in Eugene, Oregon. The district does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively in the grant space, primarily as a sub-recipient of Department of Education funding flows channeled through the state.

The district's prime grant footprint centers on Indian Education Grants to Local Educational Agencies (CFDA 84.060), a Department of Education formula grant program. Recent prime awards include $156,445 for the period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, $164,948 for the period July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, and $230,424 for the period July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024, each designated to address the educational and culturally related academic needs of American Indian and Alaska Native students in the district's enrollment. The Indian Education award program specifies that funds support instruction aligned to state performance standards, knowledge and understanding of Native communities and Tribal histories, languages and cultures, and culturally appropriate professional development for teachers and school staff serving Indian students, with administrative costs capped at 5% of award value.

The overwhelming majority of the district's federal footprint (83% of all awards, 96% of award count) flows through sub-awards from the Oregon Department of Education across a diverse set of federal education programs. The sub-award portfolio encompasses Title 1 Part A/D Basic Grants to LEAs, English Language Acquisition grants, Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants, Student Support and Academic Enrichment programs, 21st Century Learning Centers, IDEA Part B 611 and 619 special education grants, Comprehensive Literacy State Development, the Child Nutrition Program's Fresh Fruit and Vegetable initiatives, Lead Testing of Drinking Water for Schools, Title 1D Neglected and Delinquent programs, and American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ARP-ESSER) funding. Sub-awards have been issued monthly to quarterly since 2021, with 13 new sub-awards recorded in 2026 alone, tracking the annual federal appropriations cycle and state pass-through timing. The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 96 of 170 total awards in the source data; the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service follows with 39 awards tied to child nutrition programs. The District also receives sub-awards from the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (22 awards), Department of Education Office of English Language Acquisition (4 awards), and the Environmental Protection Agency Region 10 (3 awards for lead testing).

Activity has remained steady across the past five years, with annual award counts ranging from 13 to 29 awards, reflecting the regular annual distribution of federal education funding through state intermediaries. Only one award in the portfolio carries a recompete date within the next twenty-four months, indicating stable, routine grant pass-through relationships with minimal procurement churn. The district's combined potential value across all awards in the source data is $10 thousand, a placeholder figure typical of grant records where individual sub-award dollar values are not systematically captured in the snapshot; obligated dollars across the footprint total $141.3 million, reflecting the actual expenditure of Indian Education and state education pass-through grants since the district's first recorded award in 2006.
