Total instructional hours per day = 2.5 hours per session x 3 sessions = 7.5 hours per day.
Students have Friday off if they attend all three sessions for four days.
Total hours per attending all sessions/day in 4 day week = 7.5 hours/day = 30 hours/week
Total hours per attending 2 sessions/day in 5 day week = 5 hours per day = 25 hours/week
Total hours per school year is 990 hours per ODE. 990/30hrs=33 weeks (4 days each)
Extended school year, spaced learning over time, 990/25hrs=39 weeks (5 days each)
