Department of Education in New Mexico

Education awards tagged to New Mexico

Department of Education as awarding agency, New Mexico as place-of-performance: 1,107 records summing to $3,084,413,168.58. A Department of Education award coded outside NM is out. An award in New Mexico from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. New Mexico (NM) excludes Texas, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and Oklahoma. An El Paso-coded award is Texas even if a student commutes.

One thousand one hundred seven records is a typical Education formula-file size: hundreds of awards, not hundreds of thousands. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1,107 as 1,107 unique enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts. The overlay Department of Education in New Mexico is the both-keys table. New Mexico federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Education is the agency book without an NM filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

This packet does not name Title I, IDEA, or Pell as line items inside $3,084,413,168.58. Unique LEAs are unpublished. Correlation is not causation: New Mexico did not “cause” $3,084,413,168.58 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 091 × NM only.

Not a report card or enrollment ledger

$3,084,413,168.58 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 NM place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 1,107 awards as a census of enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If New Mexico federal spending or Department of Education matched $3,084,413,168.58 and 1,107, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Texas, Arizona, and Colorado Education joins are other pairs, not addends.
