The catalog title names Special Education Grants To States, not a ranking of Pennsylvania school districts. Dividing $1,650,067,076.69 by 4 yields about $412.52 million per award. Unique recipients are unpublished. 4 is not a student, LEA, or IEP census.

Pennsylvania geography, not an LEA roster

PA is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Harrisburg, Philadelphia, or Pittsburgh can share the tag. Awards coded to Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, and West Virginia stay outside $1,650,067,076.69 even when activity later crosses those lines. The code does not convert $1.65 billion into a district special-education atlas.

Pennsylvania federal spending is the all-program parent. 84.027 is one row on Pennsylvania programs. $1.65 billion is not the state’s complete federal footprint.

Four awards and a high-eight-figure mean

$1,650,067,076.69 ÷ 4 is about $412.52 million per award. That average is a high-eight-figure mean on four rows, not a median. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 4 as a record count, not as 4 unique LEAs or 4 named disability categories.

Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 4 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $1,650,067,076.69 without changing the join key of 84.027 and PA. USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $1,650,067,076.69 is the net total supplied in the facts. The pair remains Special Education Grants to States plus Pennsylvania. Do not treat $1,650,067,076.69 as an outlay series.
