 Hybrid Mode of Instruction

This does not include Flexible Instruction Days (FID) or temporary periods 
that are necessitated by weather or illness, unless the period lasts for 
more than five consecutive days.  

Students who are enrolled in a virtual course that supplements LEA course 
offerings are not considered hybrid. Examples include, but are not limited to, advanced placement, dual enrollment, remedial, foreign language, elective, or other courses.
061
Full Time Remote Mode of Instruction

This does not include Flexible Instruction Days (FID) or temporary periods that are necessitated by weather or illness, unless the period lasts for more than five consecutive days.

Students who attend a brick-and-mortar building while receiving virtual or remote instruction for 100% of their education report as participating in full-time remote instruction.
