Department of Education in District of Columbia

What the Education–District of Columbia join is

Awarding agency 091 and place-of-performance state DC meet here. $8,596,475,860.63 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Education’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to District of Columbia, and not an outlay register. Elementary-secondary, higher-education, and other Education awarding offices can share 091. A thin 1,254-row file with a large mean is easy to misread as one giant District grant; the packet does not say that.

1,254 is a thin award file: relatively few rows, so the mean is large and easy to misread as a typical grant. Modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. Dividing $8,596,475,860.63 by 1,254 yields about $6.86 million per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line.

Open Department of Education in District of Columbia for the live filtered table, District of Columbia federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Education for agency 091 without a District of Columbia filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $8,596,475,860.63.

Awarding agency 091 as the Education side

USAspending labels awarding agency 091 as Department of Education. That code produced $8,596,475,860.63 when crossed with District of Columbia place of performance. The agency-wide 091 hub does not require DC geography. The District of Columbia hub does not require Education. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 1,254 awards.

Per-pupil figures, DCPS rankings, and a Pell-versus-Title-I split are unpublished. 1,254 awards is an action count, not a school count. A second Education slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat District of Columbia’s 091 cell as a synonym for every Education account.

Questions

How much Education spending is coded to District of Columbia?

USAspending.gov lists $8,596,475,860.63 in Department of Education obligations across 1,254 District of Columbia-coded awards. Agency 091 × DC is an obligation join, not an outlay and not District of Columbia’s complete federal ledger. Department of Education in District of Columbia is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $6.86 million, a ratio of those two facts only.

Do not invent a CFDA split from the department label.

Is $8,596,475,860.63 cash already paid in District of Columbia?

No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $8,596,475,860.63 as checks already cleared in District of Columbia confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 1,254 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.
