Northwest Regional Education Service District

Northwest Regional Education Service District is a U.S. local government entity that serves as a regional education service district for school districts in four counties in northwest Oregon. Through federal grants, it provides services and support for early childhood, special education, school improvement, and other programs serving over 98,000 students.

Northwest Regional Education Service District has received federal funding as a prime recipient of a $1 million grant from the Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs to implement a regional school safety initiative. It has also obtained federal funds as a sub-recipient on grants focused on areas such as special education, early childhood education, migrant education, neglected and delinquent youth, English language acquisition, and COVID-19 relief. These federal sub-awards have been passed through from prime recipients such as the Oregon Department of Education. The specific types of goods and services funded via these grants include administrative oversight, direct instruction, professional development/training, program development and materials, and more. Ultimately, the aim of these federally-funded goods and services is to support vulnerable student populations, improve educational outcomes, and foster safe and equitable learning environments.
