300 ADDITIONAL HOURS
The state requires a minimum of 900 hours for elementary and 990 hours for middle/high school
students. Most schools currently schedule students for an additional ½ hour per day beyond the
state required time. Based on the typical 6-6.5 hour school day for 180 days, funded schools with
ELT will likely offer in Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 at least 1,380 hours for elementary school
students, and at least 1,470 hours for middle and high school students.
A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF TIME DURING THE SUMMER
Schools that require at least 64 hours for all students during the summer would meet this
competitive priority.
FEEDER AND RECEIVING SCHOOLS
Feeder schools send students upon graduation to receiving schools.
BLENDED LEARNING
Blended learning is a formal education program in which a student learns at least in part through
online delivery of content and instruction with some element of student control over time, place,
path, and/or pace and at least in part at a supervised brick-and-mortar location away from home.
SCHOOL-WIDE (SW) TITLE I PROGRAMS
