Disaster Recovery Assistance for Education — CFDA 84.938

Education disaster-recovery obligations at $656.0M

USAspending.gov records $656,024,291.84 in obligations under CFDA 84.938. Nineteen awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $34.53 million per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical school-repair invoice and not a cost per displaced student.

The assistance-listing title is DISASTER RECOVERY ASSISTANCE FOR EDUCATION. CFDA 84.938 is the identifier. Other Education Department recovery, Restart, or Immediate Aid to Restart School Operations listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $656.0M. Combining those codes would invent a combined education-disaster total this packet does not contain.

15 recipients, 19 awards, and 2 states

Fifteen recipients share 19 awards, or about 1.3 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $656,024,291.84 evenly would assign about $43.73 million per recipient. That density is a disaster-grantee fingerprint: few named organizations carrying large assistance rows after a limited set of events. The packet does not list the 15. Recipient count is the organizational headcount on the federal extract, not a census of school districts or students.

Two states in the geographic count is the sharpest map in this slice. Recovery dollars follow declared-disaster geography as coded, not a 50-state equal share. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

A two-state file is not a nationwide school census

Among Education assistance listings, 84.938 is a low-row, high-average file: 19 awards against 15 recipients in 2 states. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of damaged schools” and a worse proxy for students served. Recipients (15) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (19) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report damaged classrooms, lost instructional days, or FEMA declaration numbers. Citing 19 as schools rebuilt would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus recovery outlays

The $656.0M is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Disaster Recovery Assistance for Education awards — are not in the packet. A recovery file can show a large obligation stock while reconstruction 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.

Use CFDA 84.938 to size this Disaster Recovery Assistance for Education listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a Title I, FEMA Public Assistance, or Restart dashboard. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 84.938.

What the 84.938 tables omit

The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a damage assessment, not a district directory, and not a student-displacement log. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $656,024,291.84. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 19 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 2 states is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as a national recovery total. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid to grantees.

Education disaster recovery’s 2-state map and 15-recipient headcount together describe a concentrated recovery book, not a nationwide Title I formula. A researcher comparing 84.938 with Restart or FEMA Public Assistance codes should keep CFDA numbers separate. The $656.0M stock is the USAspending obligation book for this listing only.

CFDA 84.938’s 19 awards spread $656,024,291.84 across 15 recipients and 2 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 1.3 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.

Damaged classrooms, lost instructional days, and declaration numbers live in other Education or FEMA series. Those rows are outside $656,024,291.84 unless they share CFDA 84.938. Quote 19 as assistance records, 15 as organizational payees, and 2 as the geographic count.

Questions

How much is obligated for education disaster recovery?

USAspending.gov records $656.0M in obligations for CFDA 84.938. SpendingVault indexes 19 awards, 15 recipients, and 2 states. The figure is an obligation sum from assistance awards, not an outlay and not a school-repair count. CFDA 84.938’s $656,024,291.84 is the USAspending obligation stock.

How many awards does CFDA 84.938 carry?

The listing shows 19 awards against 15 recipients, or about 1.3 award records per recipient. A simple average is about $34.53 million per award. Award count is not a count of schools or students. Recipient dollars are on the program page.

Why does 84.938 show only 2 states?

The extract lists a geographic count of 2. Disaster-recovery dollars follow coded place-of-performance, not a nationwide formula. Fifteen recipients still sit on 19 assistance rows. The packet does not name the 2 states or the 15 organizations. Keep dollars, awards, recipients, and geography as separate units on the USAspending extract.

Is $656.0M already paid for school recovery?

Not necessarily. Obligations are commitments. Outlays are payments. CFDA 84.938’s indexed total is the obligation stock from USAspending.gov. This page does not report cash drawn, remaining balances, or classrooms rebuilt. The $656,024,291.84 on 19 awards is the obligation figure.
