How much Impact Aid is obligated in Montana?

USAspending.gov shows $323,401,127 in obligations for CFDA 84.041 with Montana as place of performance, across 272 awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not Montana’s full school budget. Other Education listings are outside this join unless they also carry 84.041.

Do 272 awards mean 272 Montana school districts?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include annual runs and modifications. It is not a district or student census. The packet does not name districts. See the Montana 84.041 overlay for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Is this Montana’s entire federal education funding?

No. The join is CFDA 84.041, Impact Aid, crossed with Montana place of performance. Title I, IDEA, and other Education codes use different listings. Those dollars are not inside $323,401,127 unless the award also carries 84.041. The extract has no enrollment table.

Is $323 million already spent in Montana classrooms?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $323,401,127 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. School-year draws and remaining balances are not published in this packet.

Awards

Impact Aid (CFDA 84.041) shows $323,401,127 in USAspending.gov obligations with Montana as place of performance. Two hundred seventy-two awards sit behind that total. The join is an Education Department listing for federally connected students crossed with a state location field, not Montana’s entire school budget and not a count of students.

Montana x 84.041 is an Impact Aid join, not an enrollment census

This page pairs CFDA 84.041, IMPACT AID, with Montana place of performance. Impact Aid, in program language, compensates school districts for tax-base losses tied to federal property and federally connected students. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $323,401,127 on 272 awards. The extract does not list districts, reservations, or student counts. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state is more federally burdened, and not a claim that 272 awards equal 272 districts.

Other Education listings — Title I, IDEA, or different Impact Aid sections if they use other CFDA numbers — sit outside $323,401,127 unless they also carry 84.041. Montana’s ACEP and BIA facilities joins on this slice are USDA and Interior overlays, not Education subsets. Mixing Impact Aid with BIA facilities O&M would invent a combined state figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and rural enrollment is not causation. Enrollment figures are not in the packet. Place of performance as Montana locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $323,401,127 in the state treasury.

272 awards behind $323.4 million

Award count is a row count of assistance awards, including possible annual runs and modifications. It is not a census of school districts, schools, or students. Mean obligation is about $1,188,974.73 if $323,401,127 were divided evenly across 272 lines — a mechanical ratio, not a typical district payment, and not a published per-pupil amount. The packet has no basic-support versus construction split inside Impact Aid.

Two hundred seventy-two lines are too many to narrate one by one. Sort the Montana 84.041 overlay by amount to see concentration. This page will not invent district names. Open Impact Aid in Montana for the stored table. Do not convert 272 into a map of Montana school boards. The $323,401,127 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines rather than inferring a student headcount.
