Department of Education obligations in Arizona 3rd District (AZ-03)

Education × AZ-03 is a catalog join, not a school census

Arizona 3rd District (AZ-03) is a place-of-performance tag on Education awards, not a map of every Arizona classroom. Agency 091 in this cell is a large slice of the district book, still short of the full AZ-03 obligation total. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $5,711,139,496.25 on 196 awards for awarding agency 091 with Arizona 3rd District (AZ-03) as place of performance. Treat the pair as a table intersection, not a ranking of districts as winners or losers, and not a claim that 196 awards equal 196 schools. A Department of Education amount tagged to a different district is out of this cell.

Labor, HHS, or Interior awards that mention education in a description sit outside $5,711,139,496.25 unless those awards also carry agency 091 and AZ-03 geography. Mixing those lines would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and enrollment or proficiency scores is not causation. Those series are not in the packet. Place of performance as AZ-03 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $5,711,139,496.25 in a district treasury. Neighboring Arizona districts are excluded unless they also carry both agency 091 and AZ-03 geography.

196 Education awards behind the AZ-03 cell

One hundred ninety-six Education awards behind several billion dollars is a thin grain: large assistance vehicles, not 196 schools. Mean obligation is about $29,138,466.82 if $5,711,139,496.25 were divided evenly across 196 lines — a mechanical ratio, not a published typical award. Award count is a row count of USAspending awards, including possible modifications. The extract does not split student-aid vehicles from formula grants to education agencies. Unique recipients are unpublished.

This page will not invent contractor or recipient names. Open Arizona 3rd District for the stored district table and Department of Education for the national agency shelf. Do not convert 196 into a map of schools, students, or local education agencies inside Arizona 3rd District. The $5,711,139,496.25 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines on USAspending.gov rather than inferring an inventory.

Education dollars in AZ-03 are obligations, not tuition paid

Education obligations are commitments, not tuition already paid. Education awards often obligate as assistance is awarded and draw as claims or invoices are processed. The $5,711,139,496.25 headline is the obligation sum on this district-agency join, not tuition already paid or construction already finished. Citing the figure as cash already sent confuses two USAspending concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. No fiscal year is attached to this packet; do not annualize $5,711,139,496.25 into a yearly run rate.

Keep the obligation word on $5,711,139,496.25. Keep both Department of Education and Arizona 3rd District (AZ-03) in the citation. Campaign contributions recorded on FEC.gov do not fund this USAspending cell. Different datasets can share a state abbreviation without sharing a money trail.

What the Arizona 3rd District Education table omits

The extract has no roster of schools, students, or local education agencies. Facts remain $5,711,139,496.25, 196 awards, agency 091 (Department of Education), Arizona 3rd District (AZ-03), and a district-wide book of $13,330,251,579.73. This page will not invent a contractor league table. Sibling district-agency joins are separate obligation totals, not a better or worse score.

Arizona 3rd District places AZ-03 among other congressional districts. Department of Education places agency 091 among other awarding agencies. Arizona federal spending is the statewide shelf. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of Arizona spending or of Department of Education's national book the packet never computed. The $5,711,139,496.25 figure is the tagged pair only. Neighboring Arizona districts are excluded unless they also carry both agency 091 and AZ-03 geography.

Citing Department of Education in AZ-03

A clean footnote names Department of Education (agency 091), Arizona 3rd District (AZ-03), $5,711,139,496.25 in obligations, and 196 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not relabel 196 as a census of schools, students, or local education agencies. Quote the district overlay if you need every awarding agency in AZ-03, and quote the agency page if you need Department of Education without a district filter. About 42.8% of the $13,330,251,579.73 district book sits on this agency in the extract; that percentage is a derived ratio, not a separate published table.

A ties page exists because two tables meet. One table is awarding agency 091. The other is congressional district place of performance as AZ-03. The headline $5,711,139,496.25 is the obligation sum on that intersection. It is not a forecast, not a budget request, and not an outlay. It is also not a claim that Department of Education caused Arizona 3rd District's economy to grow, or that the district caused the awards to exist. If a later ingest moves the live overlay, prefer the overlay when the table and this snapshot diverge.

Questions

How much did the Department of Education obligate in Arizona 3rd District?

USAspending.gov shows $5,711,139,496.25 in obligations for Department of Education (agency 091) with Arizona 3rd District (AZ-03) as place of performance, across 196 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not the district's entire education budget. Other agencies in the district sit outside this join.

Do 196 awards mean 196 AZ-03 schools?

No. Award count is a row count of USAspending awards and can include continuations. It is not a census of schools, students, or local education agencies. The packet does not name recipients. Mean obligation of about $29,138,466.82 is a quotient, not a typical published award. See Arizona 3rd District for stored lines.

Is this Arizona's entire federal education funding?

No. The join is awarding agency 091 crossed with AZ-03 place of performance. The district-wide book on this extract is $13,330,251,579.73. Related agencies and other districts are not inside $5,711,139,496.25 unless they also carry both keys. Neighboring Arizona districts are excluded unless they also carry both agency 091 and AZ-03 geography.

Is the AZ-03 Education total already paid to schools?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $5,711,139,496.25 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Draws and remaining balances are not published in this packet. Remaining balances are not in the facts.
