Education awards tagged to Delaware

Department of Education as awarding agency, Delaware as place-of-performance: 372 records summing to $1,285,638,961.81. A Department of Education award coded outside DE is out. An award in Delaware from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Delaware (DE) excludes Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. A Pennsylvania-coded award is PA even if a student commutes from Wilmington.

Three hundred seventy-two records is a thinner Education formula-file than a 926-row North Dakota cell, still hundreds of awards rather than unique districts. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 372 as 372 unique enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts. The overlay Department of Education in Delaware is the both-keys table. Delaware federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Education is the agency book without a DE filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

This packet does not name Title I, IDEA, or Pell as line items inside $1,285,638,961.81. Correlation is not causation: Delaware did not cause $1,285,638,961.81 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 091 × DE only.

Not a report card or enrollment ledger

$1,285,638,961.81 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 a DE place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 372 awards as a census of enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Delaware federal spending or Department of Education matched $1,285,638,961.81 and 372, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey Education joins are other pairs, not addends.

Delaware statewide, not a Wilmington-only map

Place of performance DE is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Delaware (DE) excludes Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. A Pennsylvania-coded award is PA even if a student commutes from Wilmington. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not name Title I, IDEA, or Pell as line items inside $1,285,638,961.81. This packet does not split $1,285,638,961.81 by city, county, or named facility. 372 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

State-administered grants versus checks to districts

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $1,285,638,961.81 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Delaware confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Delaware’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 372-award USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $1,285,638,961.81.

Citing Education in Delaware

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Education (agency 091) obligated $1,285,638,961.81 on 372 awards coded to Delaware. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts.

Prefer Department of Education in Delaware if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Delaware federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to DE. Department of Education is the 091 parent without the DE filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,285,638,961.81.

A usable footnote names Department of Education, Delaware, $1,285,638,961.81, and 372. The compact headline $1.29 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $3.46 million is $1,285,638,961.81 divided by 372. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
