Key figures

  • Mean obligation is about $3.40 million per award.
  • No school-year or program split is in the facts.

  • USAspending obligations are not outlays.

Education joined to Illinois

Agency 091, Department of Education, plus Illinois place of performance, produces $14,230,036,964.35 on 4,191 awards. Illinois has 4,191 rows and a mean near $3.40 million. That geometry is this cell’s, not a statement that Illinois schools are funded more evenly than those in another state.

Four thousand one hundred ninety-one is an award-record count. It is not the number of school districts, not the number of colleges, and not the number of students. USAspending does not convert this join into enrollment.

Higher education and elementary-secondary assistance can share the same 4,191-row pile. The facts do not split them. $14,230,036,964.35 is therefore not a K-12 total and not a university total. Citing it as either would invent a program cut. The overlay is the place to inspect individual award records if a researcher needs that cut.

The Department of Education hub is the unfiltered 091 profile. $14,230,036,964.35 is the Illinois slice. Awards coded to other states, including those paid to Illinois-based institutions for work listed elsewhere, do not enter this total if place of performance is not IL.

Overlay /states/il/agencies/091/ matches this pair. Program catalogs (Pell, Title I, IDEA) are not in the facts and are not listed here as dollar shares.
