Department of Education federal obligations in Nevada

A thinner Education file on a Nevada tag

Department of Education as awarding agency, Nevada as place-of-performance: 607 records summing to $2,383,409,902.56. A Department of Education award coded outside NV is out. An award in Nevada from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Nevada (NV) excludes California, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, and Oregon. A Los Angeles-coded award is CA even if a family later moves to Las Vegas. Elementary, secondary, and postsecondary instruments can share awarding agency 091. The packet does not split them.

Six hundred seven awards against $2,383,409,902.56 is a thinner Education file than many formula cells: fewer rows, a higher implied mean. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 607 as 607 unique enrollment, unique LEAs, or Clark County student counts. The overlay Department of Education in Nevada is the both-keys table. Nevada federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Education is the agency book without an NV filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Las Vegas and Reno are unpublished. Do not treat 607 as a Clark County grant list glued to a Washoe list. Correlation is not causation: Nevada did not “cause” $2,383,409,902.56 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 091 × NV only.

Clark County is not a USAspending field here

$2,383,409,902.56 does not measure enrollment, unique LEAs, or Clark County student counts. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 091 and an NV place-of-performance tag. Elementary, secondary, and postsecondary instruments can share awarding agency 091. The packet does not split them.

Do not treat 607 awards as a census of enrollment, unique LEAs, or Clark County student counts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Nevada federal spending or Department of Education matched $2,383,409,902.56 and 607, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. California, Arizona, and Utah Education joins are other pairs, not addends.

Nevada statewide, not a Strip-versus-rural split

Place of performance NV is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Nevada (NV) excludes California, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, and Oregon. A Los Angeles-coded award is CA even if a family later moves to Las Vegas. Recipient address can differ from that state tag. Las Vegas, Reno, Carson City, and the rest of the counties share one NV stamp.

Las Vegas and Reno are unpublished. Do not treat 607 as a Clark County grant list glued to a Washoe list. This packet does not split $2,383,409,902.56 by city, county, or named facility. 607 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Obligation stock versus district warrants

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $2,383,409,902.56 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Nevada confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Nevada’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 607-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 $2,383,409,902.56.

Citing Education in Nevada

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Education (agency 091) obligated $2,383,409,902.56 on 607 awards coded to Nevada. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as enrollment, unique LEAs, or Clark County student counts.

Prefer Department of Education in Nevada if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Nevada federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to NV. Department of Education is the 091 parent without the NV filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $2,383,409,902.56. A usable footnote names Department of Education, Nevada, $2,383,409,902.56, and 607. The compact headline $2.38 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $3.93 million is $2,383,409,902.56 divided by 607. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
