Department of Education federal obligations in Louisiana

What the Education–Louisiana join is

Awarding agency 091 and place-of-performance state LA meet here. $7,400,675,162.69 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Education’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Louisiana, and not an outlay register. K–12 and higher-education awarding offices can share 091. A thinner file with a larger mean is not proof of a single recovery grant.

1,656 is a thin award file: relatively few rows, so the mean is large and easy to misread as a typical grant. Modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. Dividing $7,400,675,162.69 by 1,656 yields about $4.47 million per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line.

Open Department of Education in Louisiana for the live filtered table, Louisiana federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Education for agency 091 without a Louisiana filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $7,400,675,162.69.

Awarding agency 091 as the Education side

USAspending labels awarding agency 091 as Department of Education. That code produced $7,400,675,162.69 when crossed with Louisiana place of performance. The agency-wide 091 hub does not require LA geography. The Louisiana hub does not require Education. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 1,656 awards.

Per-pupil aid, a school ranking, and a Pell-versus-Title-I split are unpublished. 1,656 awards is a thinner Education book than Michigan’s 2,897-row file in this slice. A second Education slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Louisiana’s 091 cell as a synonym for every Education account.

Louisiana as place of performance (LA)

Louisiana on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Louisiana residents. Awards can list LA while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged Texas, Mississippi, or Arkansas stay on those ties. Orleans Parish, East Baton Rouge, and the rest of Louisiana share one LA stamp.

Louisiana federal spending shows how agency 091 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same geography. $7,400,675,162.69 is one column in that table, not the table. This packet does not split Louisiana by county, metro, or congressional district.

Obligations, not outlays

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $7,400,675,162.69 is that kind of sum for Department of Education inside Louisiana coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them.

Louisiana’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 1,656-row Education cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $7,400,675,162.69 as given. Treat 1,656 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors.

Do not add those parents to this cell. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished.

Questions

How much Education spending is coded to Louisiana?

USAspending.gov lists $7,400,675,162.69 in Department of Education obligations across 1,656 Louisiana-coded awards. Agency 091 × LA is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Louisiana’s complete federal ledger. Department of Education in Louisiana is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $4.47 million, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does this total include every Education program in Louisiana?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup, not a program pie. $7,400,675,162.69 is the combined obligation sum for agency 091 inside Louisiana coding. Open Department of Education in Louisiana to inspect award lines. 1,656 is an action count, not a program count. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not invent a CFDA split from the department label.

Is $7,400,675,162.69 cash already paid in Louisiana?

No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $7,400,675,162.69 as checks already cleared in Louisiana confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 1,656 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.
