Department of Education federal obligations in Wyoming

Education awards tagged to Wyoming

Department of Education as awarding agency, Wyoming as place-of-performance: 334 records summing to $932,267,562.86. A Department of Education award coded outside WY is out. An award in Wyoming from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Wyoming (WY) excludes Colorado, Utah, Montana, Idaho, South Dakota, and Nebraska. A Fort Collins-coded award is Colorado even if the Front Range story sounds similar.

Three hundred thirty-four awards sit behind $932,267,562.86. That row count can mix large instruments with smaller modifications. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 334 as 334 unique school districts, unique campuses, or a census of classrooms. The overlay Department of Education in Wyoming is the both-keys table. Wyoming federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Education is the agency book without an WY filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Cheyenne, Casper, and Laramie share one WY stamp. Education program offices can share awarding-agency 091 without a published program pie. Correlation is not causation: Wyoming did not cause $932,267,562.86 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 091 × WY only.

334 rows are not 334 districts

$932,267,562.86 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 WY place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 334 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 Wyoming federal spending or Department of Education matched $932,267,562.86 and 334, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighbor-state Education joins are other pairs, not addends. Dividing $932,267,562.86 by 334 yields about $2,791,220.25 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical Education line and not a published median.

Wyoming, not a Rocky Mountain Education rollup

Place of performance WY is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Wyoming (WY) excludes Colorado, Utah, Montana, Idaho, South Dakota, and Nebraska. A Fort Collins-coded award is Colorado even if the Front Range story sounds similar. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Cheyenne, Casper, and Laramie share one WY stamp. This packet does not split $932,267,562.86 by city, county, or named facility. 334 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. $932,267,562.86 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Wyoming confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Wyoming's own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 334-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 $932,267,562.86.

What this pair does not prove

A large Education total in Wyoming does not mean the agency caused Wyoming's fiscal mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Keep $932,267,562.86 labeled as agency 091 obligations with Wyoming place of performance. Neighbor Education cells among Colorado, Utah, Montana, Idaho, South Dakota, and Nebraska are separate joins. This page does not rank Wyoming as a winner or loser.

Recipient names are unpublished in this packet. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to explain $932,267,562.86. Place-of-performance WY can differ from a vendor mailroom. A Fort Collins-coded award is Colorado even if the Front Range story sounds similar. A later ingest can restate $932,267,562.86 and 334 without changing the join definition: awarding agency 091 crossed with Wyoming.

Citing Education in Wyoming

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Education (agency 091) obligated $932,267,562.86 on 334 awards coded to Wyoming. 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 Wyoming if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Wyoming federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to WY. Department of Education is the 091 parent without the WY filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $932,267,562.86.

A usable footnote names Department of Education, Wyoming, $932,267,562.86, and 334. The implied mean near $2,791,220.25 is $932,267,562.86 divided by 334. 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.
