Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies obligations in North Carolina

Four prime records, one statewide Title I cell

This tie keeps USAspending assistance where CFDA 84.010 meets North Carolina place of performance. The dollar book is $2,037,090,498.10. The award count is 4. Title I, Part A formula funds commonly post as a small number of awards to the state educational agency, which then subgrants to LEAs. Four prime rows do not mean four school districts received the entire book. They mean four award records carry the catalog number and the state code.

The join does not prove that North Carolina’s free-and-reduced-price lunch share, census poverty, or school-count caused $2,037,090,498.10. Those are other series. This packet has no LEA list and no school-level split. Correlation is not causation.

A reader who treats the cell as North Carolina’s full federal education total has left the CFDA-by-state definition. The 4 figure is a record count, including modifications in the extract, not a count of Title I schools or eligible children.

The implied mean is an SEA-scale quotient

Four awards under $2,037,090,498.10 imply a mean near $509,272,625 per award. That average is an artifact of how formula education grants are filed, not a typical district allocation. The packet has no median and no share sitting on the largest single record among the four.

Volume and dollars diverge on purpose here: a thin award tape and a thick dollar column. Cite both. USAspending.gov is the source; SpendingVault does not recast the mean as a Wake County or Charlotte-Mecklenburg Title I grant.

North Carolina’s 84.010 cell is not Head Start or IDEA

North Carolina’s state hub stacks every CFDA with performance coded to the state. Title I is one education line. Head Start (a different HHS catalog number) and Special Education Grants to States are separate cells. $2,037,090,498.10 is not the statewide all-program total. The nationwide CFDA 84.010 page includes every state, so it is not this cell.

Place-of-performance on an SEA Title I award usually sits on North Carolina even when classrooms are local. This packet does not reallocate dollars to LEAs. Read the overlay as a coding view of 4 awards.

Commitments versus school-year spending

The $2,037,090,498.10 figure is an obligation sum. SEA and LEA drawdowns can trail the federal obligation across school years. SpendingVault does not publish a 84.010-in-North-Carolina outlay total in this packet. Mixing NAEP scores or poverty rates with this award file leaves the USAspending series.

Cite the join as CFDA 84.010 × North Carolina, $2,037,090,498.10, 4 awards, obligations only.

Where to read the table

The North Carolina × Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies overlay is the table view. Recipient slices on that hub still sum toward $2,037,090,498.10 on 4 awards. The North Carolina spending page and the CFDA 84.010 program page are the parents. The North Carolina programs index and the ties index list other pairs on the same obligation basis.

None of those links convert the cell into school counts or into outlays this packet omits.

What North Carolina’s Title I join is not

Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies in North Carolina are not a poverty ranking of counties and not a count of Title I schools. The $2,037,090,498.10 figure is the CFDA 84.010 × North Carolina cell. Four awards describe how the formula line was filed at the state educational agency, not four districts that received the entire book. Classroom spending can lag the federal obligation across school years.

Head Start in North Carolina is a different HHS catalog number on the same statewide stack. Do not add 84.010 and 93.600 from memory and call the sum “education.” Cite Title I and North Carolina together, keep the obligation label, and keep the 4-award count. Later bulk files can revise both dollars and the record count.

North Carolina’s Title I cell also does not include school-level allocations, comparability tests, or supplement-not-supplant documentation. Those files live with the SEA and LEAs. SpendingVault cites USAspending.gov obligations only: CFDA 84.010 × North Carolina, $2,037,090,498.10, 4 awards. If a later extract changes the four-row tape, the implied mean near $509,272,625 moves with it. Quote the packet facts and the overlay path rather than a school-count story.

Is $2.04 billion North Carolina’s full federal spending?

No. $2,037,090,498.10 is only the Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies cell. Other CFDA programs with North Carolina place of performance sit on the statewide hub. Nationwide 84.010 is not limited to North Carolina.
