Department of Education federal obligations in Idaho

Education awards tagged to Idaho

Department of Education as awarding agency, Idaho as place-of-performance: 766 records summing to $2,058,322,502.20. A Department of Education award coded outside ID is out. An award in Idaho from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Idaho (ID) excludes Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, and Montana. A Spokane-coded award is WA even if a student later enrolls in Idaho. Elementary, secondary, and postsecondary instruments can share awarding agency 091. The packet does not split them.

Seven hundred sixty-six awards against $2,058,322,502.20 is a thinner Education file than Iowa or Nebraska in this slice: fewer rows, a higher implied mean. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 766 as 766 unique enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts. The overlay Department of Education in Idaho is the both-keys table. Idaho federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Education is the agency book without an ID filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

This packet does not name Title I, IDEA, Pell, Boise State, or Boise School District as line items inside $2,058,322,502.20. Correlation is not causation: Idaho did not “cause” $2,058,322,502.20 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 091 × ID only.

Not a report card or enrollment ledger

$2,058,322,502.20 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 ID place-of-performance tag. Elementary, secondary, and postsecondary instruments can share awarding agency 091. The packet does not split them.

Do not treat 766 awards as a census of enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Idaho federal spending or Department of Education matched $2,058,322,502.20 and 766, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Washington, Oregon, and Utah Education joins are other pairs, not addends.

Idaho statewide, not Boise versus the rest

Place of performance ID is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Idaho (ID) excludes Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, and Montana. A Spokane-coded award is WA even if a student later enrolls in Idaho. Recipient address can differ from that state tag. Boise, Idaho Falls, Coeur d’Alene, and the rest of the counties share one ID stamp.

This packet does not name Title I, IDEA, Pell, Boise State, or Boise School District as line items inside $2,058,322,502.20. This packet does not split $2,058,322,502.20 by city, county, or named facility. 766 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. $2,058,322,502.20 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Idaho confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Idaho’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 766-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 $2,058,322,502.20.

Citing Education in Idaho

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Education (agency 091) obligated $2,058,322,502.20 on 766 awards coded to Idaho. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts.

Prefer Department of Education in Idaho if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Idaho federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to ID. Department of Education is the 091 parent without the ID filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $2,058,322,502.20. A usable footnote names Department of Education, Idaho, $2,058,322,502.20, and 766. The compact headline $2.06 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $2.69 million is $2,058,322,502.20 divided by 766. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
