Department of Education in Kentucky

Education awards tagged to Kentucky

Department of Education as awarding agency, Kentucky as place-of-performance: 1,526 records summing to $6,466,158,359.70. A Department of Education award coded outside KY is out. An award in Kentucky from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Kentucky (KY) excludes Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. A Cincinnati-coded award is Ohio, not this cell.

One thousand five hundred twenty-six awards is a typical Education formula-file size: hundreds of awards, not hundreds of thousands. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1,526 as 1,526 unique enrollment, graduation rates, or unique districts. The overlay Department of Education in Kentucky is the both-keys table. Kentucky federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Education is the agency book without a KY filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

This packet does not name Title I, IDEA, or Pell as line items inside $6,466,158,359.70. Correlation is not causation: Kentucky did not “cause” $6,466,158,359.70 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 091 × KY only.

Test scores are not USAspending fields

$6,466,158,359.70 does not measure enrollment, graduation rates, or unique districts. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 091 and a KY place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 1,526 awards as a census of enrollment, graduation rates, or unique districts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Kentucky federal spending or Department of Education matched $6,466,158,359.70 and 1,526, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Ohio, Tennessee, and Indiana Education joins are other pairs, not addends.
