Department of Education federal obligations in Illinois

Education joined to Illinois

Agency 091, Department of Education, plus Illinois place of performance, produces $14,230,036,964.35 on 4,191 awards. Illinois has 4,191 rows and a mean near $3.40 million. That geometry is this cell’s, not a statement that Illinois schools are funded more evenly than those in another state.

Four thousand one hundred ninety-one is an award-record count. It is not the number of school districts, not the number of colleges, and not the number of students. USAspending does not convert this join into enrollment.

Higher education and elementary-secondary assistance can share the same 4,191-row pile. The facts do not split them. $14,230,036,964.35 is therefore not a K-12 total and not a university total. Citing it as either would invent a program cut. The overlay is the place to inspect individual award records if a researcher needs that cut.

Awarding agency 091

The Department of Education hub is the unfiltered 091 profile. $14,230,036,964.35 is the Illinois slice. Awards coded to other states, including those paid to Illinois-based institutions for work listed elsewhere, do not enter this total if place of performance is not IL.

Overlay /states/il/agencies/091/ matches this pair. Program catalogs (Pell, Title I, IDEA) are not in the facts and are not listed here as dollar shares.

Illinois geography for education awards

Place of performance IL can include Chicago, suburban, and downstate awards in one $14,230,036,964.35 sum. No district-level split exists in the packet. The Illinois federal spending page is the parent hub; Education is one awarding agency among others that have their own overlays and row counts.

A university in Illinois can receive an award coded to another state; an out-of-state institution can appear here if the geography field is IL. The join follows the tag, not the campus map.

Illinois’s parent spending hub is larger than this Education cell by construction. Other awarding agencies are not missing from the state; they are missing from this filter. $14,230,036,964.35 plus another Illinois agency’s total still omits everyone else. Completeness lives on the state page, not on a stack of two ties.

Obligations versus school-year spending

People often want a school-year number. The facts do not include a year. $14,230,036,964.35 is an obligation aggregate without a fiscal-year label on this page. Assigning it to a single academic year would be invention.

Outlays can lag obligations, especially on multi-year assistance. The 4,191 award count is not a count of payments. Mean obligation of about $3.40 million mixes whatever instruments sit in the aggregate.

Illinois Education’s 4,191 awards and $14,230,036,964.35 will be compared, by some readers, with Transportation’s Illinois cell because the dollar bands look close. Close dollars on different agency codes do not merge the missions. This page reports Education 091 only. No school year is attached. No enrollment denominator is available. The mean near $3.40 million is a ratio of this packet’s two numbers, not aid per child.

Caveats

This pair does not grade Illinois schools, does not measure learning, and does not claim federal dollars caused enrollment change. It records co-occurrence of agency 091 and state IL. It does not connect to campaign-finance files.

See Department of Education in Illinois, Illinois federal spending, Department of Education, and All spending ties.

Illinois Education awards are not split among Chicago Public Schools, suburban districts, and higher education in the facts. $14,230,036,964.35 is the statewide 091 cell. The 4,191-award count is not a district count. Other Illinois agency pages use different codes; they are not this join.

Putting the Illinois Education cell in context

Department of Education in Illinois is the overlay. Illinois federal spending is the parent hub. Department of Education is agency 091 nationwide. All spending ties catalogs other pairs. Nearby Illinois joins for other departments are separate filters. Similar dollar scale across agencies, if a reader notices it elsewhere, does not make the missions the same.

Four thousand one hundred ninety-one awards and a mean near $3.40 million are table statistics. They are not enrollment, not proficiency, and not a per-pupil figure. Population and student counts are absent from the facts, so those ratios are not computed. No school year is labeled. Outlays are unreported. The pair is agency 091 plus Illinois place of performance, nothing more causal than that.

Questions

How much Department of Education money is obligated in Illinois?

USAspending records $14,230,036,964.35 in agency 091 obligations with Illinois place of performance, across 4,191 awards. That is an obligation total for the pair, not outlays and not a state education budget.

Is this for a particular school year?

No fiscal year is in the facts. $14,230,036,964.35 is the published obligation aggregate for agency 091 and Illinois without a year label on this page.

How many Illinois schools received these awards?

The facts give 4,191 awards, not a unique-recipient or school count. Multiple awards can go to one recipient; one award can cover many sites.

Why is the Illinois Education total close to Illinois DOT?

Education is $14,230,036,964.35 on 4,191 awards. A nearby Illinois Transportation cell sits in a similar dollar band on a different code. Similar dollar scale does not make the agencies the same, and it does not rank one mission above the other.
