Impact Aid federal funding in Montana

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.

Impact Aid obligations are not classroom outlays already spent

Formula education awards often obligate in annual payments and draw on a school-year calendar. The $323,401,127 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of teachers hired and not a Treasury outlay total. No fiscal year is attached. An Impact Aid allocation table dated to a particular school year is not automatically this join unless it uses CFDA 84.041, Montana geography, and the obligation metric.

The listing title is Impact Aid. This extract does not split payments tied to federal property from payments tied to federally connected children, and it does not split basic support from construction. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 272 awards, CFDA 84.041, and Montana. This page will not invent a section share. Rocky Boy regional water on 15.525 is an Interior overlay.

What the Montana Impact Aid table omits

The extract has no enrollment, no per-pupil figure, and no district list. Facts remain $323,401,127, 272 awards, CFDA 84.041, and Montana. This page will not invent a ranking against other states’ 84.041 joins, including South Dakota’s separate overlay. Rural and reservation districts can both sit in the file; the extract does not label them.

Montana federal spending and Montana programs place 84.041 among other listings. CFDA 84.041 is the national catalog line. All spending ties indexes other CFDA x state pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of Education spending the packet never computed. The $323,401,127 figure is the tagged pair only.

Where the 84.041 x Montana overlay lives

Start with Impact Aid in Montana for the 272-award table behind $323,401,127. CFDA 84.041 is the nationwide listing. Montana federal spending and Montana programs give state context. All spending ties is the shelf for other program-by-state joins on the same obligation metric. Two hundred seventy-two awards are formula-style rows, not a student census. Enrollment and district names are not in this packet. Per-pupil amounts are omitted because they are not in the facts.
