South Coast ESD

Located at 1350 Teakwood Ave in Coos Bay, Oregon, South Coast ESD functions as a vital public educational service agency serving the Coos Bay-North Bend region. Operating as an active, non-charter district, the agency provides specialized support and educational infrastructure spanning a full pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade scope. Situated in a remote town community setting, the agency operates a dedicated facility designed to extend essential educational programs, early childhood interventions, and administrative assistance across its regional footprint.

Reflecting its specialized mandate as a service agency rather than a traditional local school district, South Coast ESD focuses on regional support and specialized care rather than direct, traditional enrollment. To carry out its mission during the 2024–2025 academic year, the agency employs a comprehensive workforce of nearly 248 full-time equivalent (FTE) personnel. This professional team includes 36 FTE teachers, nearly 43 FTE instructional aides, and over 168 support staff members dedicated to speech, behavioral, administrative, and operational services. Families, educators, and researchers looking to explore the agency's specialized programs and regional services can find additional information online at www.scesd.k12.or.us or by calling (541) 269-1611.
