Department of Education in Maine

Education awards tagged to Maine

Department of Education as awarding agency, Maine as place-of-performance: 852 records summing to $1,336,722,561.50. A Department of Education award coded outside ME is out. An award in Maine from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Maine (ME) excludes New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Canada. A New Hampshire-coded award is NH even if a student commutes.

Eight hundred fifty-two records is a typical Education formula-file size: hundreds of awards, not hundreds of thousands. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 852 as 852 unique enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts. The overlay Department of Education in Maine is the both-keys table. Maine federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Education is the agency book without an ME filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

This packet does not name Title I, IDEA, or Pell as line items inside $1,336,722,561.50. Correlation is not causation: Maine did not cause $1,336,722,561.50 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 091 × ME only.

Not a report card or enrollment ledger

$1,336,722,561.50 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 ME place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 852 awards as a census of enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Maine federal spending or Department of Education matched $1,336,722,561.50 and 852, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. New Hampshire and Massachusetts Education joins are other pairs, not addends.
