Federal Funding by District

Understanding the role of federal funding in Oregon's K-12 education system provides crucial insight into how our schools are financed and supported. This dashboard displays federal funding as a percentage of each district's total revenue for the 2023-24 school year, excluding the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) one-time emergency relief program. By focusing on ongoing federal support rather than temporary pandemic assistance, this view reveals the underlying federal investment patterns across Oregon's diverse school districts.
 



The interactive map uses color coding to show how each district compares to the statewide average of 6.4% federal funding. Districts shown in dark blue receive higher federal support, as defined in the legend above. This variation often reflects differences in student demographics, rural versus urban settings, and specific federal program eligibilities. Hovering over any district reveals detailed information including the exact percentage of federal funding, total federal dollars received, and per-student federal investment.
This transparency tool supports informed decision-making by providing stakeholders—from school administrators and board members to parents and policymakers—with clear data about federal funding distribution across Oregon. As discussions continue about education funding equity and sustainability, understanding these federal investment patterns helps contextualize broader conversations about resource allocation and student support.
