Department of Education in Alaska

Education awards tagged to Alaska

Department of Education as awarding agency, Alaska as place-of-performance: 846 records summing to $1,901,340,095.39. A Department of Education award coded outside AK is out. An award in Alaska from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Alaska (AK) is a distinct place-of-performance key. Washington, Oregon, and Hawaii Education rows are other cells.

Eight hundred forty-six records is a typical Education formula-file size: hundreds of awards, not hundreds of thousands. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 846 as 846 unique enrollment, unique school districts, or NAEP scores. The overlay Department of Education in Alaska is the both-keys table. Alaska federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Education is the agency book without an AK filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Bush districts, Anchorage, and the Interior share one AK stamp. Title I, Impact Aid, and Pell are unpublished splits of $1,901,340,095.39. Correlation is not causation: Alaska did not cause $1,901,340,095.39 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 091 × AK only.

Not a rural-school or enrollment ledger

$1,901,340,095.39 does not measure enrollment, unique school districts, or NAEP scores. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 091 and an AK place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 846 awards as a census of enrollment, unique school districts, or NAEP scores. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Alaska federal spending or Department of Education matched $1,901,340,095.39 and 846, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Washington, Hawaii, and Oregon Education joins are other pairs, not addends.
