Department of Education in Mississippi

Education awards tagged to Mississippi

Department of Education as awarding agency, Mississippi as place-of-performance: 1,026 records summing to $4,599,789,548.43. A Department of Education award coded outside MS is out. An award in Mississippi from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Mississippi (MS) excludes Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Tennessee. A Memphis-coded award is Tennessee even if a student commutes.

One thousand twenty-six records is a typical Education formula-file size: hundreds of awards, not hundreds of thousands. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1,026 as 1,026 unique enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts. The overlay Department of Education in Mississippi is the both-keys table. Mississippi federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Education is the agency book without an MS filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

This packet does not name Title I, IDEA, or Pell as line items inside $4,599,789,548.43. Correlation is not causation: Mississippi did not “cause” $4,599,789,548.43 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 091 × MS only.

Not a NAEP score or enrollment ledger

$4,599,789,548.43 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 MS place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 1,026 awards as a census of enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Mississippi federal spending or Department of Education matched $4,599,789,548.43 and 1,026, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Alabama, Arkansas, and Louisiana Education joins are other pairs, not addends.
