Head Start in Louisiana

What the 93.600–Louisiana join is

CFDA 93.600 is titled HEAD START. Filtered to Louisiana place of performance, obligations sum to $1,439,800,552.51 on 151 awards. The national Head Start hub includes every state. The Louisiana spending hub includes every program. This tie is the intersection. $1,439,800,552.51 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of funded slots in New Orleans or Baton Rouge.

One hundred fifty-one awards is a many-grantee pattern: Head Start often funds local agencies rather than a single statewide block. The join does not name those agencies, split Orleans from Acadiana, or count classrooms. Packet facts are $1,439,800,552.51, 151 awards, LA, and 93.600. Correlation is not causation.

93.600 is not CCDBG in Louisiana

The Child Care and Development Block Grant uses CFDA 93.575. Mixing CCDBG dollars into $1,439,800,552.51 would overstate this cell. Facts on this page: Louisiana, CFDA 93.600, $1,439,800,552.51, 151 awards. Enrollment, CLASS scores, and facility addresses are not in the facts.

The catalog title names Head Start, not a school-readiness ranking. Dividing $1,439,800,552.51 by 151 yields about $9.54 million per award—a local-agency scale smaller than a ten-award block because the count is higher. Unique recipients are unpublished. 151 is not a count of teachers.
