Indian School Equalization — CFDA 15.042

Indian school-equalization obligations at $593.0M

USAspending.gov records $593,032,909.89 in obligations under CFDA 15.042. Ninety-eight awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $6.05 million per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical school-operations invoice and not a cost per student.

The assistance-listing title is INDIAN SCHOOL EQUALIZATION. CFDA 15.042 is the identifier. Other Bureau of Indian Education, Interior, or Education Department listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $593.0M. Combining those codes would invent a combined Indian-education total this packet does not contain.

77 recipients and 98 award rows

Seventy-seven recipients share 98 awards, or about 1.27 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $593,032,909.89 evenly would assign about $7.70 million per recipient. That density is a school-and-tribe fingerprint: almost one assistance row per named organization. The packet does not list the 77. Recipient count is the organizational headcount on the federal extract, not a census of students or classrooms.

Eighteen states in the geographic count is a concentrated map. Equalization dollars follow school geography as coded, not a 50-state equal share. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award rows are not a student census

Among Interior education listings, 15.042 is a compact operations file: 98 awards against 77 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of schools” and a worse proxy for students enrolled. Recipients (77) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (98) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report enrollment, teachers, or buildings. Citing 98 as schools would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states. Ninety-eight awards at about $6.05 million each is school-operations architecture concentrated in 18 states.

Obligations versus school-equalization outlays

The $593.0M is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Indian School Equalization awards — are not in the packet. An operations file can show a large obligation stock while draws follow a school-year calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 15.042 to size this Indian School Equalization listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a Title I, Impact Aid, or Johnson-O’Malley dashboard. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 15.042.

What the 15.042 tables omit

The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not an enrollment file, not a school directory, and not a facilities inventory. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $593,032,909.89. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 98 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 18 states is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as a national K-12 total. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid to schools.

Indian School Equalization’s 18-state map and 77-recipient headcount together describe a school-operations book concentrated where BIE-funded schools sit. A researcher comparing 15.042 with Title I, Impact Aid, or Johnson-O’Malley codes should keep CFDA numbers separate. The $593.0M stock is the USAspending obligation book for this listing only.

CFDA 15.042’s 98 awards spread $593,032,909.89 across 77 recipients and 18 states.

Enrollment, teachers, and buildings live in other Interior or Education series. Those rows are outside $593,032,909.89 unless they share CFDA 15.042. Quote 98 as assistance records, 77 as organizational payees, and 18 as the geographic count.
