Department of Education in Washington

Education awards tagged to Washington state

Department of Education as awarding agency, Washington as place-of-performance: 2,392 records summing to $5,670,161,526.89. A Department of Education award coded outside WA is out. An award in Washington from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Washington (WA) excludes Oregon, Idaho, and the District of Columbia. A Portland-coded award is Oregon. A D.C. Education cell is a different state key.

Two thousand three hundred ninety-two awards is a mid-count Education file. Similar counts elsewhere are not a ranking of school systems. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 2,392 as 2,392 unique enrollment, unique districts, or named universities. The overlay Department of Education in Washington is the both-keys table. Washington federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Education is the agency book without a WA filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Seattle, Spokane, and rural ESDs are unpublished. Keep the WA tag; do not write “Washington, D.C.” for this join. Correlation is not causation: Washington did not “cause” $5,670,161,526.89 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 091 × WA only.

WA is not the District of Columbia

$5,670,161,526.89 does not measure enrollment, unique districts, or named universities. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 091 and a WA place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 2,392 awards as a census of enrollment, unique districts, or named universities. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Washington federal spending or Department of Education matched $5,670,161,526.89 and 2,392, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Oregon and Idaho Education joins are other pairs, not addends.
