Louisiana geography on the Special Education Grants tag

LA is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to New Orleans, Baton Rouge, or Shreveport can share the tag. Awards coded to Texas, Arkansas, or Mississippi stay outside $1,318,111,305.98 even when a metro, watershed, or service area approaches the border. Orleans Parish and north Louisiana districts share one LA code at this grain. The code does not convert $1.32 billion into a district map.

Louisiana federal spending is the all-program parent. 84.027 is one row on Louisiana programs. $1.32 billion is not the state's complete federal footprint.
