The Department of Education shows $2,290,697,288.01 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Nebraska, across 1,255 awards. The pair is Education plus Nebraska, not a two-city school budget. Awarding-agency 091 and Nebraska (NE) are the pair. One thousand two hundred fifty-five records is a typical Education formula-file size: hundreds of awards, not hundreds of thousands. The implied mean is about $1.83 million per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

Education awards tagged to Nebraska
Department of Education as awarding agency, Nebraska as place-of-performance: 1,255 records summing to $2,290,697,288.01. A Department of Education award coded outside NE is out. An award in Nebraska from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Nebraska (NE) excludes Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Colorado. A Council Bluffs-coded award is IA, not this cell. Elementary, secondary, and postsecondary instruments can share awarding agency 091. The packet does not split them.
One thousand two hundred fifty-five records is a typical Education formula-file size: hundreds of awards, not hundreds of thousands. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1,255 as 1,255 unique enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts. The overlay Department of Education in Nebraska is the both-keys table. Nebraska federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Education is the agency book without an NE filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
This packet does not name Title I, IDEA, Pell, UNL, or Omaha Public Schools as line items inside $2,290,697,288.01. Correlation is not causation: Nebraska did not “cause” $2,290,697,288.01 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 091 × NE only.
Not a report card or enrollment ledger
$2,290,697,288.01 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 NE place-of-performance tag. Elementary, secondary, and postsecondary instruments can share awarding agency 091. The packet does not split them.
Do not treat 1,255 awards as a census of enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Nebraska federal spending or Department of Education matched $2,290,697,288.01 and 1,255, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Iowa, Kansas, and South Dakota Education joins are other pairs, not addends.
