Department of Education in Maryland

Education awards tagged to Maryland

Department of Education as awarding agency, Maryland as place-of-performance: 1,455 records summing to $5,709,359,482.49. A Department of Education award coded outside MD is out. An award in Maryland from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Maryland (MD) excludes the District of Columbia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and West Virginia. A D.C.-coded award is DC.

One thousand four hundred fifty-five awards is a slightly thinner Education formula file, still in the hundreds-to-low-thousands band. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1,455 as 1,455 unique enrollment, unique districts, or Beltway commuting. The overlay Department of Education in Maryland is the both-keys table. Maryland federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Education is the agency book without an MD filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Prince George’s and Montgomery counties are unpublished. $5,709,359,482.49 is statewide 091 × MD. Correlation is not causation: Maryland did not “cause” $5,709,359,482.49 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 091 × MD only.

Not a Beltway or enrollment ledger

$5,709,359,482.49 does not measure enrollment, unique districts, or Beltway commuting. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 091 and an MD place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 1,455 awards as a census of enrollment, unique districts, or Beltway commuting. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Maryland federal spending or Department of Education matched $5,709,359,482.49 and 1,455, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. District of Columbia, Virginia, and Pennsylvania Education joins are other pairs, not addends.
