Department of Education in Connecticut

Education awards tagged to Connecticut

Department of Education as awarding agency, Connecticut as place-of-performance: 1,055 records summing to $4,452,476,852.14. A Department of Education award coded outside CT is out. An award in Connecticut from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Connecticut (CT) excludes New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. A White Plains-coded award is New York even if a student commutes.

One thousand fifty-five records is a typical Education formula-file size: hundreds of awards, not hundreds of thousands. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1,055 as 1,055 unique enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts. The overlay Department of Education in Connecticut is the both-keys table. Connecticut federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Education is the agency book without a CT filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Hartford, New Haven, and Fairfield County share one CT stamp. Unique LEAs are unpublished. Correlation is not causation: Connecticut did not “cause” $4,452,476,852.14 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 091 × CT only.

Not a magnet-school or NAEP ledger

$4,452,476,852.14 does not measure enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 091 and a CT place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 1,055 awards as a census of enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Connecticut federal spending or Department of Education matched $4,452,476,852.14 and 1,055, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island Education joins are other pairs, not addends.
