Education awards tagged to California

Department of Education as awarding agency, California as place-of-performance: 10,993 records summing to $43,868,300,253.94. An Education award coded to Nevada is out. A USDA award coded to California is out even if a school cafeteria is involved.

The implied mean is about $3.99 million per award. Formula grants to the state, discretionary competitions, and smaller actions can share that average. This packet does not name Title I, IDEA, or Pell as line items.

Department of Education in California is the overlay. California federal spending is the all-agency state hub. All spending ties lists other joins. Ten thousand nine hundred ninety-three Education records in California are not 10,993 districts. $43,868,300,253.94 is the obligation sum for agency 091 inside CA coding. Department of Education in California does not publish enrollment, ADA, or a Title I split.

Not a report card

Enrollment, NAEP scores, and graduation rates are not USAspending fields. $43,868,300,253.94 does not grade California schools. It sums award obligations with a 091 code and a CA tag.

10,993 awards are not 10,993 school districts. Unique local education agencies are unpublished. Do not treat the count as a district census. California did not cause the dollar total by having many students. Population and enrollment are not packet facts. The join is 091 × CA. Correlation is not causation. Test scores attach easily to California education debates. They are not USAspending fields. $43,868,300,253.94 does not grade schools. California federal spending still includes USDA, Energy, NASA, and VA cells that are not 091.

Grant obligations versus checks to districts

State-administered grants often obligate to a state recipient and then flow onward on a different schedule. $43,868,300,253.94 is the USAspending obligation sum, not a ledger of warrants already paid to each California district.

Sacramento’s education budget is a different series. Mixing it with the 10,993-award file leaves USAspending.gov. California Education’s 10,993 records are not 10,993 districts. $43,868,300,253.94 can obligate to a state recipient that later subawards. Department of Education in California reports the USAspending pair, not a LEA cash register. Enrollment is unpublished, so per-pupil math is out of scope.

Statewide CA, not a district map

This packet does not split $43,868,300,253.94 by county office or unified district. 10,993 awards stay statewide. A LEA table would be a different extract.

Department of Education is the 091 hub without a California filter. Use it for the agency book. State-administered grants can change 10,993 and $43,868,300,253.94 when amendments post. Department of Education in California is the overlay to reread. District-level cash remains a subaward question this join does not answer.
