Shoreline School District 412

Shoreline School District 412, a Washington state public school district headquartered in Shoreline, is a federal grant recipient operating as a sub-recipient under education and nutrition programs, with no direct federal contracts. The district receives formula grants as a prime recipient from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education and acts predominantly as a sub-recipient (83% of recent awards) under pass-through funding from the Washington State Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction and the Puget Sound Educational Service District.

The district's federal footprint centers on K-12 education and child nutrition programs. As a prime grant recipient, Shoreline School District 412 receives Indian Education Formula Grants to Local Educational Agencies from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with awards for fiscal years 2024–25, 2025–26, and 2026–27 (the latter with ultimate completion in June 2027). As a sub-recipient, the district draws funding from six distinct federal agencies, with the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service dominating concentration — 24 of 52 sub-awards involve reimbursement and administrative support for child nutrition programs, primarily flowing through the Washington State Superintendent of Public Instruction as the prime grantee. Special Education funding under IDEA Part B (Section 611 and 619) and Title I support also flow through the same state pass-through, with smaller allocations for Title IIA (Supporting Effective Instruction), Title III (English Language Acquisition), and High-Need Individual Safety Net programs. The district also receives Head Start sub-awards through the Puget Sound Educational Service District, with awards in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025.

Customer concentration is pronounced. The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service and the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education together account for 34 of 52 sub-awards; the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) adds 9 more. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families rounds out the top five, with 4 awards. Combined, these five agencies cover 96% of recent award activity.

Award activity peaked in 2024 at 20 sub-awards, declining to 10 in 2025 and 2 in 2026 within the source window. The district faces minimal recompete pressure: only one award (combined potential value not specified in the source) reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. Federal dollars obligated across all awards total $26.2 million, with the vast majority flowing through state education agencies rather than direct federal relationships. Shoreline School District 412 operates as a standard K-12 sub-recipient for federal education, special education, and nutrition formula programs — a typical posture for mid-sized public school districts — with no contracting vehicle participation or direct federal procurement relationships.
