Charter Schools awarded by Department of Education

Charter Schools overlapping Education — CFDA 84.282

The pair is Charter Schools × Department of Education. $2,043,571,640.85 is the obligation aggregate for rows that carry both CFDA 84.282 and awarding-agency 091. The join obligation $2,043,571,640.85 equals the CFDA program total of $2,043,571,640.85 in this extract, so this packet does not publish a leftover Charter Schools slice at a second awarding agency. Correlation is not causation: the join does not prove that Department of Education caused Charter Schools activity, only that USAspending coded the two keys together. It is not a charter-network ranking or a named school list.

SpendingVault indexes the cell from USAspending.gov. The catalog title on the program side is CHARTER SCHOOLS. The agency name on the awarding side is Department of Education. Neither label is a contractor, a place of performance, or a fiscal-year stamp — this packet publishes no fiscal year. Cite $2,043,571,640.85 as obligations on the Charter Schools–Education pair.

CFDA 84.282 as the Charter Schools side

CFDA 84.282 is the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance identifier for Charter Schools. The program-wide obligation total in this extract is $2,043,571,640.85. That figure is a program rollup, not a second headline for the Department of Education slice unless the two amounts match. Do not treat $2,043,571,640.85 as cash Treasury already sent. Operator names, campus counts, and enrollment figures are unpublished on this packet.

Open CFDA 84.282 at /programs/84.282/ for the program hub. That page is not this join: it can include other awarding agencies if the extract lists them, and it is still obligations rather than outlays. This ties page stays on CFDA 84.282 awarded by agency 091 only.

Agency 091, Department of Education

Department of Education is awarding-agency 091 on USAspending assistance rows. The agency hub Department of Education at /agencies/091/ rolls up every program that agency awards in the index, not only Charter Schools. Reading $2,043,571,640.85 as Department of Education’s entire book would over-read this cell. The join is one CFDA inside one agency, not a department budget justification.

Do not add Federal Election Commission contribution totals to $2,043,571,640.85. Campaign-finance receipts and USAspending award obligations are separate public-record systems even when a geography or a calendar year happens to overlap. This packet has no FEC facts.

166 awards as a CFDA table, not a campus census

The extract lists 166 awards on the Charter Schools × Department of Education table. That is an award-record count, not a census of charter campuses. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications can add rows without naming a new organization. Dividing $2,043,571,640.85 by 166 is not published here as a typical award size, because the packet does not say the rows are comparable.

Enrollment rankings this charter–Education join cannot support

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $2,043,571,640.85 is the former. Citing it as cash already cleared on Charter Schools over-reads the field. The join cannot say that Department of Education specialized in Charter Schools because of a policy success metric this packet omits. Keep $2,043,571,640.85 labeled as Charter Schools obligations awarded by Department of Education.

Hubs for CFDA 84.282 × agency 091

Open /programs/84.282/ for CFDA 84.282, /agencies/091/ for Department of Education, /programs/ (All programs) for other catalog lines, and /ties/ (All spending ties) for other pairs. None of those links convert this cell into a charter-network ranking or a named school list, into outlays this packet omits, or into a contractor list. Cite both sides: Charter Schools and Department of Education, $2,043,571,640.85, USAspending.gov, obligations only.

Keep the citation narrow: CFDA 84.282 and awarding-agency 091 on USAspending.gov, obligations only, with no invented recipients. Operator names, campus counts, and enrollment figures are unpublished on this packet.
