Department of Education federal obligations in Michigan

What the Education–Michigan join is

Awarding agency 091 and place-of-performance state MI meet here. $8,548,945,829.10 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 Michigan, and not an outlay register. K–12 formula vehicles and higher-education awards can share 091. The harvest does not isolate them, so do not quote $8.55 billion as ‘Detroit schools only.’

2,897 is a moderate row count, consistent with a mix of formula vehicles and project awards, without naming those vehicles. Modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. Dividing $8,548,945,829.10 by 2,897 yields about $2.95 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 Michigan for the live filtered table, Michigan federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Education for agency 091 without a Michigan filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $8,548,945,829.10.

Awarding agency 091 as the Education side

USAspending labels awarding agency 091 as Department of Education. That code produced $8,548,945,829.10 when crossed with Michigan place of performance. The agency-wide 091 hub does not require MI geography. The Michigan hub does not require Education. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 2,897 awards.

School rankings, a state school-aid fund, and a Pell-versus-IDEA split are unpublished. 2,897 awards is not a count of Michigan school buildings. A second Education slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Michigan’s 091 cell as a synonym for every Education account.

Michigan as place of performance (MI)

Michigan on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Michigan residents. Awards can list MI while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, or Minnesota remain on those ties even when a student crosses a border. Detroit, Grand Rapids, and the U.P. share one MI stamp.

Michigan federal spending shows how agency 091 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same geography. $8,548,945,829.10 is one column in that table, not the table. This packet does not split Michigan by county, metro, or congressional district.

Obligations, not outlays

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $8,548,945,829.10 is that kind of sum for Department of Education inside Michigan 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.

Michigan’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 2,897-row Education cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $8,548,945,829.10 as given. Treat 2,897 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 Michigan?

USAspending.gov lists $8,548,945,829.10 in Department of Education obligations across 2,897 Michigan-coded awards. Agency 091 × MI is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Michigan’s complete federal ledger. Department of Education in Michigan is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $2.95 million, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does this total include every Education program in Michigan?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup, not a program pie. $8,548,945,829.10 is the combined obligation sum for agency 091 inside Michigan coding. Open Department of Education in Michigan to inspect award lines. 2,897 is an action count, not a program count. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not invent a CFDA split from the department label.

Is $8,548,945,829.10 cash already paid in Michigan?

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 $8,548,945,829.10 as checks already cleared in Michigan confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 2,897 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.

Where is the live Education–Michigan table?

Department of Education in Michigan is the overlay. Michigan federal spending and Department of Education are the parents. All spending ties lists other agency-state pairs. Those hubs are not addends. Keep both sides of the join when citing $8,548,945,829.10. Place of performance is MI, not a county map. Obligations are not outlays.
