Teacher political money in the 2012 election cycle

Teacher meeting the 2012 election cycle

2012 is a presidential federal cycle on the FEC calendar. Intersecting the Teacher occupation grouping with that year produces $5,862,982, 8,434 lines, and 3,677 donor keys. Those three figures are the join. The occupation hub still holds $92,518,340 across all cycles in the aggregate. This page does not restate that hub without the year filter.

About $1,595 per donor ($5,862,982 ÷ 3,677) and about $695 per contribution ($5,862,982 ÷ 8,434) describe this string in 2012. Lines per donor average about 2.3 (8,434 ÷ 3,677). Those ratios are arithmetic on the packet, not typical gifts and not a unique-person audit. Repeat givers raise the line count.

The 2012 election-cycle hub places Teacher beside other occupation keys that year. Neither that hub nor this tie converts $5,862,982 into a civic-engagement score. Named employers who share a workplace with people in this cell sit in industry rows if the legal name was used instead of the occupation word.

6.3% of the Teacher all-cycle grouping

6.3% is $5,862,982 divided by $92,518,340. The leftover $86,655,358 sits in other cycles on the occupation hub. A 6.3% year share is a piece of this grouping’s recorded history, not a ranked list of peak years — other years’ amounts are not in this packet except as that residual.

Presidential solicitation volume can lift itemized counts. 8,434 lines still describe only receipts tagged Teacher in 2012. The packet does not publish committee names inside the cell; those live on the occupation and cycle overlays. Do not treat 6.3% as proof that 2012 was this occupation’s largest year in every dataset.

Teacher is not an NEA membership file

TEACHER is filer-entered occupation text. FEC.gov does not match it to state certification. PROFESSOR, EDUCATOR, and a school-district legal name as employer are neighboring keys. A teacher who typed the district name may sit in an industry/employer hub.

K-12, private-school, and retired teachers who typed Teacher can share the cell. This page does not recode grade level or union status. The Teacher string is the filter, not a census of classroom staff.

What Teacher money in this cycle is not

The cell is not a teachers-union PAC and not independent expenditures about education bills. Union treasury activity, if disclosed on other schedules, is a different FEC category.

Federal education grants on USAspending are a different dataset. This join does not claim that Teacher-coded gifts funded those awards. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Motive is outside the packet.

Pages that keep Teacher and 2012 apart

The Teacher occupation page holds $92,518,340 and other years. The 2012 election-cycle page holds that year’s occupation list. All occupations ranks neighboring job strings. All FEC ties lists other occupation–cycle pages so this cell is not mistaken for an industry–PAC join.

Keep both sides of the name — Teacher and 2012 — whenever $5,862,982 is quoted. Cite 8,434 contributions, 3,677 donors, 6.3% of $92,518,340, and FEC.gov. Do not convert 3,677 keys into licensed or enrolled people. Do not fold USAspending into the cell.

How to cite Teacher × 2012

A complete claim names Teacher and 2012, then $5,862,982, 8,434 contributions, 3,677 donors, and 6.3% of $92,518,340, source FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Unitemized gifts stay omitted. Independent expenditures stay omitted. Federal awards that mention a similar profession stay omitted.

The 3,677-donor count is the net of filing choices in 2012: people who typed Teacher increased the cell; people who typed a firm name or a neighboring title reduced it. $5,862,982 and the 6.3% share travel with that net. They do not travel with a licensing board, a union roster, or a USAspending file. Quote the occupation hub for $92,518,340 and other cycles.

2012 remains a presidential federal cycle. That calendar fact does not add dollars. The join stops at itemized individual receipts tagged Teacher in 2012: $5,862,982 on 8,434 lines from 3,677 donors. About $695 per line and $1,595 per donor are means, not typical gifts. Repeat filers can sit in the 8,434 without raising unique people above 3,677.

Committee-level rows inside the Teacher cell are on the occupation and cycle tables, not restated here. Quote both sides of the join so a neighboring title string is not treated as this URL.

Questions

How much did Teacher-tagged donors give in 2012?

The join records $5,862,982 in itemized individual contributions for Teacher in 2012, from 8,434 contributions and 3,677 donors. The grouping’s all-cycle total is $92,518,340.

What share of the Teacher grouping is 2012?

6.3%: $5,862,982 of $92,518,340. Other years’ amounts are not listed in this packet except as the leftover $86,655,358 on the occupation hub. A year share is not a ranking of peak cycles.

Does this include people who listed a company instead of Teacher?

Usually not. Named firms are other industry keys. Neighboring titles are other occupation keys. This cell is the grouped Teacher string in 2012. Mixing keys would blur the 3,677-donor count.

Do Teacher donations fund federal awards?

No. FEC individual contributions and USAspending obligations are different datasets. This tie reports only itemized individual receipts tagged Teacher in 2012: $5,862,982 across 8,434 contributions from 3,677 donors.
