School Safety National Activities — CFDA 84.184

$1.75 billion in federal obligations is indexed on USAspending.gov for School Safety National Activities (CFDA 84.184). The listing carries 530 awards, 437 recipients, and a 53-state geographic count. Those dollars are assistance obligations, not Treasury outlays and not a count of schools, threat assessments, or mental-health staff. Four hundred thirty-seven recipients against 530 awards is a near one-row-per-grantee file, closer to districts and nonprofits than to a 50-state formula roster.

Key figures

  • CFDA 84.184 shows $1.75 billion in USAspending obligations for School Safety National Activities.
  • The listing covers 530 awards and 437 recipients.
  • Awards are coded to 53 states in the USAspending geographic count.
  • Totals are obligations, not outlays or school counts.

School-safety obligations at $1.75 billion

USAspending.gov records about $1.8 billion — $1,754,317,402.05 in obligations under CFDA 84.184. Five hundred thirty awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $3.31 million per award — consistent with competitive project grants rather than a per-pupil formula payment. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical district safety budget or a per-school amount.

The assistance-listing title is SCHOOL SAFELY NATIONAL ACTIVITIES as stored on the packet. CFDA 84.184 is the identifier. Other Education school-climate or Title IV listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $1.75 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined school-safety total this packet does not contain.

437 recipients across 53 states

Four hundred thirty-seven recipients share 530 awards, or about 1.2 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $1.75 billion evenly would assign about $4.01 million per recipient. That pattern is close to one award per named organization, which fits a competitive national-activities listing. The packet does not list the 437. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of schools or counselors.

Fifty-three states in the geographic count is a near-complete map plus extra jurisdictions. School-safety dollars in this extract follow that coded geography. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Four hundred thirty-seven recipients against 530 awards is a competitive national-activities pattern: almost one grant per named organization. Fifty-three states in the geographic count is a near-complete map plus extra jurisdictions. The $1,754,317,402.05 obligation stock is not an incident log, not a counselor-FTE survey, and not a Title IV-A formula file. The packet stores the listing title as SCHOOL SAFELY NATIONAL ACTIVITIES; that string is the assistance-listing name on this extract. Quote 530 as assistance rows and 437 as named organizations.

Award count is not a school count

Among Education assistance listings, 84.184 is a mid-volume file: 530 rows against 437 recipients. Multi-year project rows and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique grantees. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of schools served.” Recipients (437) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (530) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report incident counts, staffing, or building upgrades. Citing 530 as schools would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus payment outlays

The $1.75 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against school-safety awards — are not in the packet. A district can show a large obligation stock while a draw follows a later project year. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 84.184 to size this School Safety National Activities listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a Title I, IDEA, or COPS school-resource-officer dashboard. Those series live on other codes. This page reports the obligation book tagged 84.184.

What the 84.184 tables omit

The School Safety hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not an incident log, not a staffing survey, and not a facilities inventory. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $1,754,317,402.05. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 530 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 53 states is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already spent on safety work.

Where the 84.184 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 84.184 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other Education listings. For 84.184 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 84.184’s 530 awards spread $1,754,317,402.05 across 437 recipients and 53 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 1.2 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.
