Department of Education federal obligations in Vermont

USAspending.gov records $821,868,729.97 in Department of Education obligations with Vermont place of performance, covering 387 awards. The pair is awarding agency 091 and state VT. Three hundred eighty-seven awards sit behind $821,868,729.97. That row count can mix large instruments with smaller modifications. Average obligation per award is about $2,123,691.81. That ratio is not a typical Education contract. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

Key figures

  • Implied mean about $2,123,691.81 per record — a packet quotient, not a typical project.
  • Agency 091 × VT is not a measure of school districts, unique campuses, or a census of classrooms.
  • Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.
  • Vermont federal spending and Department of Education are parents, not amounts to add into $821,868,729.97.

Education awards tagged to Vermont

Department of Education as awarding agency, Vermont as place-of-performance: 387 records summing to $821,868,729.97. A Department of Education award coded outside VT is out. An award in Vermont from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Vermont (VT) excludes New York, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. A Hanover-coded award is New Hampshire even if the river story sounds similar.

Three hundred eighty-seven awards sit behind $821,868,729.97. That row count can mix large instruments with smaller modifications. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 387 as 387 unique school districts, unique campuses, or a census of classrooms. The overlay Department of Education in Vermont is the both-keys table. Vermont federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Education is the agency book without an VT filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Burlington, Montpelier, and Rutland share one VT stamp. Education program offices can share awarding-agency 091 without a published program pie. Correlation is not causation: Vermont did not cause $821,868,729.97 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 091 × VT only.

387 rows are not 387 districts

$821,868,729.97 does not measure school districts, unique campuses, or a census of classrooms. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 091 and an VT place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 387 awards as a census of school districts, unique campuses, or a census of classrooms. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Vermont federal spending or Department of Education matched $821,868,729.97 and 387, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighbor-state Education joins are other pairs, not addends. Dividing $821,868,729.97 by 387 yields about $2,123,691.81 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical Education line and not a published median.

Vermont, not a Champlain Education rollup

Place of performance VT is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Vermont (VT) excludes New York, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. A Hanover-coded award is New Hampshire even if the river story sounds similar. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Burlington, Montpelier, and Rutland share one VT stamp. This packet does not split $821,868,729.97 by city, county, or named facility. 387 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

A modest Education file, still obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $821,868,729.97 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Vermont confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Vermont's own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 387-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 $821,868,729.97.

What this pair does not prove

A large Education total in Vermont does not mean the agency caused Vermont's fiscal mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Keep $821,868,729.97 labeled as agency 091 obligations with Vermont place of performance. Neighbor Education cells among New York, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts are separate joins. This page does not rank Vermont as a winner or loser.

Recipient names are unpublished in this packet. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to explain $821,868,729.97. Place-of-performance VT can differ from a vendor mailroom. A Hanover-coded award is New Hampshire even if the river story sounds similar. A later ingest can restate $821,868,729.97 and 387 without changing the join definition: awarding agency 091 crossed with Vermont.

Citing Education in Vermont

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Education (agency 091) obligated $821,868,729.97 on 387 awards coded to Vermont. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as school districts, unique campuses, or a census of classrooms.

Prefer Department of Education in Vermont if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Vermont federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to VT. Department of Education is the 091 parent without the VT filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $821,868,729.97.

A usable footnote names Department of Education, Vermont, $821,868,729.97, and 387. The implied mean near $2,123,691.81 is $821,868,729.97 divided by 387. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset; they do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation.
