Coos County School District 13

Coos County School District 13, doing business as North Bend School District, is a local government school district in North Bend, Oregon that receives federal education grants as a prime recipient and sub-recipient. The district operates exclusively in the federal grant space—no contracting vehicles—and draws federal funding almost entirely from the U.S. Department of Education through multiple education and special education formula grant programs administered by the Oregon Department of Education.

The district's federal footprint spans five distinct customer agencies, though the concentration is extreme: the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for 66 of 98 total awards, with the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services adding 24 awards. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service accounts for 6 awards. Across both roles, North Bend serves as a prime recipient on Indian Education Formula Grants to LEAs (Fiscal Years 2023 through 2027, with awards issued July 1 each year and completion June 30 the following year), and as a sub-recipient on a broad portfolio of federal education programs flowing through the Oregon Department of Education. Sub-grant awards cover Title I Part A/D Basic Grants to LEAs, Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants, Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Part B (611 and 619), Rural and Low-Income Schools programs, the Child Nutrition Program Fresh Fruit and Vegetable component, American Rescue Plan ESSER (Elementary and Secondary Schools Emergency Relief Fund) allocations, IDEA Part B 611 ARP variants, and specialized programs including Title I-D Neglected and Delinquent, Special Education Preschool Grants, and ARP ESSER Homeless Children and Youth support.

The district's role is predominantly sub-recipient: 78 of 98 awards (80%) flow through the Oregon Department of Education as the prime grantee, with North Bend participating as a subordinate local education agency. The 20 prime awards consist of the recurring Indian Education Formula Grant series. Combined dollars obligated across all ninety-eight awards total $18.6 million. Activity levels have remained relatively steady over the past four years—14 to 16 awards annually from 2022 through 2024—with only five awards in 2025 and eight through August 2026, reflecting typical sub-award timing and the cyclical nature of state pass-through allocations. Only one award faces ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure in that window.
