Department of Education federal obligations in Kansas

Education awards tagged to Kansas

Department of Education as awarding agency, Kansas as place-of-performance: 1,802 records summing to $2,661,719,788.75. A Department of Education award coded outside KS is out. An award in Kansas from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Kansas (KS) excludes Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Colorado. A Kansas City, Missouri-coded award is MO.

One thousand eight hundred two awards is a typical Education formula file: hundreds to low thousands of awards, not hundreds of thousands. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1,802 as 1,802 unique enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts. The overlay Department of Education in Kansas is the both-keys table. Kansas federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Education is the agency book without a KS filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Wichita, Topeka, and the rest of the state share one KS stamp. Unique LEAs are unpublished. Correlation is not causation: Kansas did not “cause” $2,661,719,788.75 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 091 × KS only.

Not a report card or enrollment ledger

$2,661,719,788.75 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 KS place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 1,802 awards as a census of enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Kansas federal spending or Department of Education matched $2,661,719,788.75 and 1,802, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Missouri, Oklahoma, and Nebraska Education joins are other pairs, not addends.

Kansas statewide, not a Kansas City bi-state map

Place of performance KS is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Kansas (KS) excludes Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Colorado. A Kansas City, Missouri-coded award is MO. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Wichita, Topeka, and the rest of the state share one KS stamp. Unique LEAs are unpublished. This packet does not split $2,661,719,788.75 by city, county, or named facility. 1,802 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Typical formula file, still obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $2,661,719,788.75 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Kansas confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Kansas’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 1,802-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 $2,661,719,788.75.

Citing Education in Kansas

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Education (agency 091) obligated $2,661,719,788.75 on 1,802 awards coded to Kansas. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts.

Prefer Department of Education in Kansas if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Kansas federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to KS. Department of Education is the 091 parent without the KS filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $2,661,719,788.75.

A usable footnote names Department of Education, Kansas, $2,661,719,788.75, and 1,802. The compact headline $2.66 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $1.48 million is $2,661,719,788.75 divided by 1,802. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.

One thousand eight hundred two awards is a typical Education formula file: hundreds to low thousands of awards, not hundreds of thousands. On this join the implied mean near $1.48 million should not be treated as a typical award size. Without a distribution, $2,661,719,788.75 can be dominated by a few rows even when 1,802 is large, or by those same few rows when 1,802 is small. This page will not pretend to know which pattern holds. It keeps repeating the two facts and the two keys: Department of Education (091) and Kansas (KS). Place of performance still does not mean every dollar was disbursed locally. Obligations still do not mean outlays. Wichita, Topeka, and the rest of the state share one KS stamp. Unique LEAs are unpublished.
