Replacement and Repair of Indian Schools in South Dakota

South Dakota x 15.062 is a BIE facilities join, not a school census

This page pairs CFDA 15.062, REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR OF INDIAN SCHOOLS, with South Dakota place of performance. The join is a Bureau of Indian Education school replacement-and-repair listing crossed with a state location field, not South Dakota’s entire education budget and not a census of schools. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $154,916,152.03 on 5 awards. The extract does not list schools, square feet, or project names. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state has more need, and not a claim that 5 awards equal 5 schools or 5 construction sites.

Other Interior listings — law enforcement 15.030, education operations, or different BIE codes — sit outside this total unless they also carry 15.062. Mixing those listings into $154,916,152.03 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and facility-condition scores is not causation. Condition inventories are not in the packet. Place of performance as South Dakota locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $154,916,152.03 in the state treasury. Rapid City-versus-reservation folklore is not a school split in this packet. CRP 10.069 in South Dakota is a USDA overlay, not a BIE subset.

5 awards behind $154.9 million

Mean obligation is about $30,983,230.41 if $154,916,152.03 were divided evenly across 5 lines. That ratio is not a published construction cost and not a cost per school. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations and modifications. It is not a count of schools, classrooms, or students.

Five lines are a short facilities file. Large replacement awards can dominate a dollar total on few rows. This page will not invent recipient names. Open Replacement And Repair Of Indian Schools in South Dakota for the stored table. Do not convert 5 into a map of South Dakota BIE schools. The $154,916,152.03 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines rather than inferring a school census.

Questions

How much Indian school replacement and repair funding is obligated in South Dakota?

USAspending.gov shows $154,916,152.03 in obligations for CFDA 15.062 with South Dakota as place of performance, across 5 awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not South Dakota’s full education-facilities budget. Other listings are outside this join unless they also carry 15.062.

Do 5 awards mean 5 South Dakota Indian schools?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include continuations. It is not a school, classroom, or student census. The packet does not name facilities. See the South Dakota 15.062 overlay for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Does this include Indian law enforcement in South Dakota?

No. Law enforcement is CFDA 15.030 on a separate South Dakota join. This page is CFDA 15.062 only. Those public-safety dollars are not inside $154,916,152.03 unless the award also carries 15.062. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.

Is $155 million already spent rebuilding South Dakota Indian schools?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $154,916,152.03 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Construction completions and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
