Pull Out Minutes Format

This is used by the field 11 calculation. This determines if pull-out student Minutes are per week or per cycle in Scheduling > Courses > Course Sections > Student Linking: Minutes.

W (by week) means Student Linking > Minutes is how many minutes per week (Mon-Fri) the student is pulled out. Use this option if the building has 5 cycle days (i.e. – Monday through Friday). The total # of weeks the course meets = (total # membership days for the course) / 5.
C (by cycle) means Student Linking > Minutes is how many minutes per cycle the student is pulled out. Use this option if the building doesn't have 5 cycle days (i.e. – if it uses A/B days or cycles 1-6). The total # of cycles the course meets = (total # membership days for the course) / (# of days the course meets per cycle) i.e. – if a building has 6 cycle days and a course meets days 1,3 and 5, the total number of cycles would be (total # of membership days for the course) / 3; if a building has 6 cycle days and a course meets days 1 through 6, the total number of cycles would be (total # of membership days for the course) / 6.

Example: Week vs. Cycle for a Building with Cycle Days <> 5

The building has 6 cycle days (days 1-6)
Algebra I meets period 4, all cycle days 1-6, all Marking Periods M1-M4
In the Timetable, period 4 has Period Length = 44 minutes each cycle day
The pull-out student has a Student Linking > Minutes entry = 44
The Keystone Eval Date = 5/12/14, so the course "ends" on 5/9/14 for PVAAS purposes
In Calendar Setup, 5/9/14 is Membership Day 159, SO:
The course meets 32 total weeks: 159 total membership days / 5 = 31.8
The course meets 27 total cycles: 159 total membership days / 6 cycle days = 26.5

W (by week) calculation for field 11:

The Student is pulled out 44 minutes (1 day) per week. Her Student Linking > Minutes = 44.
TOTAL minutes for the course: (44 minutes/day * 5 days/week) * 32 weeks = 7040 total minutes
Her total pull-out minutes for the course: 44 minutes * 32 weeks = 1408 pull-out minutes
Field 11 = 20% calculated as follows: 1480 pull-out minutes / 7040 total minutes = .2 = 20 %

C (by cycle) calculation for field 11:

The Student is pulled out 44 minutes per cycle. Her Student Linking > Minutes = 44.
TOTAL minutes for the course: (44 minutes/day * 6 cycle days) * 27 cycles = 7128 total minutes
Her total pull-out minutes for the course: 44 minutes * 27 cycles = 1188 pull-out minutes
Field 11= 17% calculated as follows: 1188 pull-out minutes / 7128 total minutes = .166 = 17%
