Department of Education federal obligations in Indiana

Education awards tagged to Indiana

Department of Education as awarding agency, Indiana as place-of-performance: 1,625 records summing to $6,622,546,297.73. A Department of Education award coded outside IN is out. An award in Indiana from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Indiana (IN) excludes Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, and Kentucky. A Chicago-coded award is not this cell even if a student commutes.

One thousand six hundred twenty-five records is a typical Education formula-file size: hundreds of awards, not hundreds of thousands. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1,625 as 1,625 unique enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts. The overlay Department of Education in Indiana is the both-keys table. Indiana federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Education is the agency book without an IN filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Purdue, IU, and Indianapolis Public Schools are not named recipients here. Unique LEAs are unpublished. Correlation is not causation: Indiana did not “cause” $6,622,546,297.73 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 091 × IN only.

Not a report card or enrollment ledger

$6,622,546,297.73 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 IN place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 1,625 awards as a census of enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Indiana federal spending or Department of Education matched $6,622,546,297.73 and 1,625, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Illinois, Ohio, and Kentucky Education joins are other pairs, not addends.

Indiana statewide, not a county-school map

Place of performance IN is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Indiana (IN) excludes Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, and Kentucky. A Chicago-coded award is not this cell even if a student commutes. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Purdue, IU, and Indianapolis Public Schools are not named recipients here. Unique LEAs are unpublished. This packet does not split $6,622,546,297.73 by city, county, or named facility. 1,625 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. $6,622,546,297.73 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Indiana confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Indiana’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 1,625-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 $6,622,546,297.73.

Citing Education in Indiana

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Education (agency 091) obligated $6,622,546,297.73 on 1,625 awards coded to Indiana. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts.

Prefer Department of Education in Indiana if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Indiana federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to IN. Department of Education is the 091 parent without the IN filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $6,622,546,297.73.

A usable footnote names Department of Education, Indiana, $6,622,546,297.73, and 1,625. The compact headline $6.62 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $4.08 million is $6,622,546,297.73 divided by 1,625. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
