Grades Hours

9 - 12 990

Instructional Hours As Scheduled

(990 hours per year) / (145 school days) = 6.83 hours per day

(6.83 hours) x (60 minutes) = 409.8 (410) minutes per day

Seat Time

(55 minute periods) x (72 days - 1st semester) = 3960 minutes

(3960 minutes) / (60 minutes) = 66 hours of seat time per class in one semester
