Education Stabilization Fund — CFDA 84.425

Stabilization dollars on 320 award records

Assistance listing 84.425 is titled EDUCATION STABILIZATION FUND in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $892,038,865.03. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not an outlay. Treating $892.0M as school spending already completed mixes two series. SpendingVault keeps the label as obligations.

320 awards sit under that dollar book. Dividing $892,038,865.03 by 320 produces a mean near $2.79 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical LEA allocation and not a cost per student. Education Stabilization Fund dollars often sit on a mix of state and institutional assistance actions, which is why 320 records can carry $892.0M.

228 recipients in 49 states

CFDA 84.425 lists 228 recipients and 49 states against 320 awards. Recipient count is not unique students. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores for this listing. A state agency, school district, or institution can appear on more than one award; 228 is not a census of campuses. The 49-state span is a coded-jurisdiction count, not a map of every school that received relief.

320 awards against 228 recipients averages about 1.4 award records per recipient. Extra modifications can lift the 320 tally without moving $892,038,865.03 much. The 84.425 hub keeps dollars, awards, recipients, and states visible so one statistic is not inferred from another.

Obligations versus education-relief outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $892,038,865.03 figure for CFDA 84.425 can include commitments that will disburse later. An ESSER expenditure report, a higher-education relief table, and a Treasury outlay series are different publications. This page does not translate the obligation total into those series.

If a number you expected is missing, the usual cause is a different reporting concept. Start from the obligation definition, then open the 84.425 program page. Do not stretch 320 awards or 228 recipients to cover every federal dollar tagged as education stabilization.

What the 84.425 tables omit

The Education Stabilization Fund hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a school-reopening log, not a student-enrollment file, and not a subaward directory of every LEA. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $892,038,865.03. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 320 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 49 states is a coding field. A statewide grantee coded to one cell can dominate geography while funds reach many districts. Read the program page before any state split.

A worked reading of the 84.425 extract

Start from the four packet facts: $892,038,865.03, 320 awards, 228 recipients, and 49 states under CFDA 84.425. The mean near $2.79 million is a quotient from the award count, not a typical district grant. If a later USAspending.gov file adds large state actions, dollars can jump while 228 recipients barely move. If modifications proliferate, 320 can rise while the dollar book stays close to $892.0M.

Nothing in the extract splits ESSER from HEERF-style labels, or K-12 from higher education. Those cuts live outside this packet. Treat CFDA 84.425 as an assistance-listing tag on USAspending.gov award files. Open the program page, then the all-programs index, for a same-series ranking. Cite 320 awards and 228 recipients next to the dollars so the recipient mix is visible.
