Five SEA-scale records, one IDEA cell

This tie keeps USAspending assistance where CFDA 84.027 meets Michigan place of performance. The dollar book is $1,949,444,256.77. The award count is 5. IDEA Part B formula funds commonly post as a few awards to the state educational agency rather than one row per local district. Five prime records do not mean five districts received the book.

The join does not prove that Michigan’s identification rate, urban concentration, or per-pupil special-education cost caused $1,949,444,256.77. Those are other series. This packet has no disability-category split. Correlation is not causation.

A reader who treats the cell as Michigan’s full federal education total has left the CFDA-by-state definition. The 5 figure is a record count, including modifications, not a count of students with disabilities.

The implied mean is not an ISD allocation

Five awards under $1,949,444,256.77 imply a mean near $389,888,851 per award. Formula SEA grants of this size often produce that kind of average. The packet has no median and no split among the five records.

A low award count is a filing pattern, not evidence that special education is concentrated in five places. Cite both dollars and count. USAspending.gov is the source; SpendingVault does not recast the mean as a typical Wayne or Oakland ISD grant.
