Awards
799
The Department of Education shows $2,058,322,502.20 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Idaho, across 766 awards. The pair is Education plus Idaho, not a Boise district budget. Awarding-agency 091 and Idaho (ID) are the pair. Seven hundred sixty-six awards against $2,058,322,502.20 is a thinner Education file than Iowa or Nebraska in this slice: fewer rows, a higher implied mean. The implied mean is about $2.69 million per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

Education awards tagged to Idaho
Department of Education as awarding agency, Idaho as place-of-performance: 766 records summing to $2,058,322,502.20. A Department of Education award coded outside ID is out. An award in Idaho from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Idaho (ID) excludes Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, and Montana. A Spokane-coded award is WA even if a student later enrolls in Idaho. Elementary, secondary, and postsecondary instruments can share awarding agency 091. The packet does not split them.
Seven hundred sixty-six awards against $2,058,322,502.20 is a thinner Education file than Iowa or Nebraska in this slice: fewer rows, a higher implied mean. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 766 as 766 unique enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts. The overlay Department of Education in Idaho is the both-keys table. Idaho federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Education is the agency book without an ID filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
This packet does not name Title I, IDEA, Pell, Boise State, or Boise School District as line items inside $2,058,322,502.20. Correlation is not causation: Idaho did not “cause” $2,058,322,502.20 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 091 × ID only.
Not a report card or enrollment ledger
$2,058,322,502.20 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 an ID place-of-performance tag. Elementary, secondary, and postsecondary instruments can share awarding agency 091. The packet does not split them.
Do not treat 766 awards as a census of enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Idaho federal spending or Department of Education matched $2,058,322,502.20 and 766, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Washington, Oregon, and Utah Education joins are other pairs, not addends.
