Magnet Schools Assistance — CFDA 84.165

Magnet-school obligations at $777,833,287.51

USAspending.gov records $777,833,287.51 in obligations under CFDA 84.165. Seventy-nine awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $9,846,016 per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical district magnet budget and not a cost per seat. Other Department of Education school-choice listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $777,833,287.51.

The assistance-listing title is MAGNET SCHOOLS ASSISTANCE. CFDA 84.165 is the identifier. Combining 84.165 with Charter Schools or Title I codes would invent a combined school-choice total this packet does not contain. Read the $777,833,287.51 as the obligation book tagged 84.165 only.

52 recipients in 19 jurisdictions

Fifty-two recipients share 79 awards, or about 1.5 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $777,833,287.51 evenly would assign about $15.0 million per recipient. That density is a competitive-district pattern: a modest named-LEA headcount carrying one or two large assistance rows. The packet does not list the 52.

Nineteen jurisdictions in the geographic count is the distinctive map: magnet dollars follow funded districts, not equal shares across every state. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table. Recipient count is organizational, not a census of magnet campuses or teachers.

Award rows are not a campus census

Among Education listings, 84.165 is a low-row competitive file: 79 awards against 52 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of magnet programs” and a worse proxy for schools opened. Recipients (52) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (79) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report enrollment, racial-isolation metrics, or theme counts. Citing 79 as campuses would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $777,833,287.51 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov.

Obligations versus magnet-school outlays

The $777,833,287.51 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Magnet Schools Assistance awards — are not in the packet. A competitive file can show a large obligation stock while districts draw across multi-year project periods. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

What the 84.165 tables omit

The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a school directory, not a desegregation-order file, and not a theme catalog. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $777,833,287.51. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 79 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 19 jurisdictions is a coding field on a competitive extract. Read the program page before treating those 19 cells as a national magnet map. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid to school districts.

A researcher comparing 84.165 with Charter Schools or Title I codes should keep CFDA numbers separate.

About 1.5 award records per recipient is the density story on 79 awards. Campus counts, seats, and enrollment remain outside the packet. Outlays are a separate column.
