Literacy and community-school obligations at $1.18 billion
USAspending.gov records $1,184,229,373.20 in obligations under CFDA 84.215. Three hundred fifty-one awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $3,373,873 per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical school-level grant and not a cost per student. The $1,184,229,373.20 figure is an obligation sum from the assistance extract.
The assistance-listing title is INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO LITERACY; PROMISE NEIGHBORHOODS; FULL-SERVICE COMMUNITY SCHOOLS; AND CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING FOR ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION COMMUNITY PROJECTS. CFDA 84.215 is the identifier. Other elementary and secondary education listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $1.18 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined total this packet does not contain. Keep 84.215 separate on the programs index.
294 recipients on 351 awards
Two hundred ninety-four recipients share 351 awards, or about 1.19 award records per recipient. Splitting $1,184,229,373.20 evenly would assign about $4.03 million per recipient. That near one-to-one density is a community-project pattern: many named organizations, usually one assistance row each. The packet does not list the 294. Recipient count is not a census of schools, neighborhoods, or students.
Forty-six jurisdictions in the geographic count cover states plus additional coded entities in the USAspending state field. 84.215 dollars still follow awarded projects, not equal shares. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.
One listing, several named activities
Among education listings, 84.215 is a bundled community-project file: 351 rows against 294 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of Promise Neighborhoods” and a worse proxy for students served. Recipients (294) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (351) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.
The packet does not report reading scores, school counts, or earmark tallies beyond the 351 rows. Citing 351 as schools or 294 as neighborhoods would be a unit error. The title itself bundles several activities under one CFDA; the packet does not split dollars among those named activities. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $1,184,229,373.20 stock is the obligation book only.
Obligations versus education-project outlays
The $1,184,229,373.20 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against CFDA 84.215 education community projects awards — are not in the packet. A bundled education file can show a large obligation stock while school-year draws follow a later calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

What the 84.215 tables omit
The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a student roster, not a school directory, and not a split of literacy vs. Promise Neighborhoods vs. community-schools dollars. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $1,184,229,373.20. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 351 award rows.
Place-of-performance on 46 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those 46 cells as equal shares. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid. A researcher comparing 84.215 with other elementary and secondary education codes should keep CFDA numbers separate. CFDA 84.215 is a 351-row, 294-organization book. The packet does not split the $1,184,229,373.20 among the several activities named in the title.
