[quote=Anonymous]Burbio’s interpretations were off.

From an old thread:

[quote=Anonymous]Burbio needs to share more details about their "in-person index". Seems like they may not be comparing apples to apples.

Were they calculating based on the # of days? Hours?

According to this piece, Burbio is using a different baseline number of days/hours than VA uses. They are using 1170 hours.

[i]Using Burbio’s data, The 74 calculated the average days and hours of in-person learning in each state based on a 180-day school year and [u]a 6.5-hour school day. [/u][/i]

Virginia's standard is 990 hours. 
https://law.lis.virginia.gov/admincode/title8/agency20/chapter131/section150/
[i]The standard school year shall be 180 instructional days or 990 instructional hours. The standard school day, including passing time for class changes and excluding breaks for meals, shall average a minimum of [u]five and one-half instructional hours [/u]for students in grades 1 through 12 and a minimum of [u]three hours[/u] for kindergarten[/i]

And what % of K classes in Virginia are still half-day? How did Burbio count those?

How did Burbio take this discrepancy into account when calculating their "in-person index"?
