Department of Education federal obligations in Tennessee

What the Education–Tennessee join is

Awarding agency 091 and place-of-performance state TN meet here. $8,242,137,539.10 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 Tennessee, and not an outlay register. K–12 and higher-education awarding offices can share 091. Do not quote $8.24 billion as ‘Tennessee universities only’ or as ‘K–12 only.’

2,179 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 $8,242,137,539.10 by 2,179 yields about $3.78 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 Tennessee for the live filtered table, Tennessee federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Education for agency 091 without a Tennessee filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $8,242,137,539.10.

Awarding agency 091 as the Education side

USAspending labels awarding agency 091 as Department of Education. That code produced $8,242,137,539.10 when crossed with Tennessee place of performance. The agency-wide 091 hub does not require TN geography. The Tennessee hub does not require Education. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 2,179 awards.

Per-pupil aid, a BEP state-formula total, and a Pell-versus-Title-I split are unpublished. 2,179 awards is not a school count. A second Education slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Tennessee’s 091 cell as a synonym for every Education account.

Tennessee as place of performance (TN)

Tennessee on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Tennessee residents. Awards can list TN while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, or Missouri stay on those ties. Tennessee’s long border does not pull those codes into this cell.

Tennessee federal spending shows how agency 091 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same geography. $8,242,137,539.10 is one column in that table, not the table. This packet does not split Tennessee by county, metro, or congressional district.

Obligations, not outlays

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $8,242,137,539.10 is that kind of sum for Department of Education inside Tennessee 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.

Tennessee’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 2,179-row Education cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $8,242,137,539.10 as given. Treat 2,179 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors.

How to cite Education in Tennessee

Keep Department of Education, Tennessee, $8,242,137,539.10, and 2,179 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Education is the 091 parent without a Tennessee filter. 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 Tennessee?

USAspending.gov lists $8,242,137,539.10 in Department of Education obligations across 2,179 Tennessee-coded awards. Agency 091 × TN is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Tennessee’s complete federal ledger. Department of Education in Tennessee is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $3.78 million, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does this total include every Education program in Tennessee?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup, not a program pie. $8,242,137,539.10 is the combined obligation sum for agency 091 inside Tennessee coding. Open Department of Education in Tennessee to inspect award lines. 2,179 is an action count, not a program count. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not invent a CFDA split from the department label.

Is $8,242,137,539.10 cash already paid in Tennessee?

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 $8,242,137,539.10 as checks already cleared in Tennessee confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 2,179 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.

Where is the live Education–Tennessee table?

Department of Education in Tennessee is the overlay. Tennessee 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 $8,242,137,539.10. Place of performance is TN, not a county map. Obligations are not outlays.
