Education awards tagged to North Dakota

Department of Education as awarding agency, North Dakota as place-of-performance: 926 records summing to $1,298,905,873.70. A Department of Education award coded outside ND is out. An award in North Dakota from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. North Dakota (ND) excludes Minnesota, South Dakota, Montana, and Canada. A Minnesota-coded award is MN even if a student commutes to Fargo.

Nine hundred twenty-six records is a typical Education formula-file size: hundreds of awards, not hundreds of thousands. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 926 as 926 unique enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts. The overlay Department of Education in North Dakota is the both-keys table. North Dakota federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Education is the agency book without an ND filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

This packet does not name Title I, IDEA, or Pell as line items inside $1,298,905,873.70. Correlation is not causation: North Dakota did not cause $1,298,905,873.70 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 091 × ND only.

Not a report card or enrollment ledger

$1,298,905,873.70 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 ND place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 926 awards as a census of enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If North Dakota federal spending or Department of Education matched $1,298,905,873.70 and 926, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Minnesota, South Dakota, and Montana Education joins are other pairs, not addends.

North Dakota statewide, not a Fargo-only map

Place of performance ND is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. North Dakota (ND) excludes Minnesota, South Dakota, Montana, and Canada. A Minnesota-coded award is MN even if a student commutes to Fargo. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not name Title I, IDEA, or Pell as line items inside $1,298,905,873.70. This packet does not split $1,298,905,873.70 by city, county, or named facility. 926 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. $1,298,905,873.70 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in North Dakota confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

North Dakota’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 926-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 $1,298,905,873.70.

Citing Education in North Dakota

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Education (agency 091) obligated $1,298,905,873.70 on 926 awards coded to North Dakota. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts.

Prefer Department of Education in North Dakota if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. North Dakota federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to ND. Department of Education is the 091 parent without the ND filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,298,905,873.70.

A usable footnote names Department of Education, North Dakota, $1,298,905,873.70, and 926. The compact headline $1.30 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $1.40 million is $1,298,905,873.70 divided by 926. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
