Example
Educational Environment Code A
Step 1: First determine total number of minutes in the school week.
Example: School is in session
Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
420 minutes per day x 4 days = 1,680 minutes
Friday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
360 minutes x 1 day = 360 minutes
Total number of minutes in the school week =
1,680 + 360 = 2,040 minutes in the school week
2,040 minutes becomes the denominator in the calculation
Step 2: Determine the number of minutes the student is removed
from nondisabled peers based upon the IEP
I. Special Frequency / Amount Location Duration
Education
Speech Therapy 30 minutes / twice Speech Therapy 2006-2007
per week Room SY
II. Related Frequency / Amount Location Duration
Services
Physical Therapy 30 minutes / twice Physical Therapy 2006-2007
per week Room SY
120 minutes becomes the numerator in the calculation
Step 3: Do the equation
Divide the total minutes of removal (120 minutes) by total number of
minutes in the school week (2,040 minutes)
120 minutes / 2,040 minutes = 0.058
0.58 x 100 = 5.8% time of removal from regular class
5.8% = Code A (removed from nondisabled peers 0% through 20% of
the time)
Example
Educational Environment Code B
Step 1: First determine total number of minutes in the school week.
Example: School is in session
Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
420 minutes per day x 4 days = 1,680 minutes
Friday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
360 minutes x 1 day = 360 minutes
Total number of minutes in the school week =
1,680 + 360 = 2,040 minutes in the school week
2,040 minutes becomes the denominator in the calculation
Step 2: Determine the number of minutes the student is removed
from nondisabled peers based upon the IEP
I. Special Frequency / Amount Location Duration
Education
Reading 45 minutes / daily Regular 2006-2007
Instruction 90 minutes / 3 times Education Class SY

480 minutes becomes the numerator in the calculation
Step 3: Do the equation
Divide the total minutes of removal (480 minutes) by total number of
minutes in the school week (2,040 minutes)
480 minutes / 2,040 minutes = 0.235
0.235 x 100 = 23.5% time of removal from regular class
23.5% = Code B (removed from nondisabled peers 21% through 60% of
the time)
Example
Educational Environment Code C
Step 1: First determine total number of minutes in the school week
including lunch and recess.
Example: School is in session
Monday through Thursday from 8:15 a.m. to 3:15 p.m.
420 minutes per day x 4 days = 1,680 minutes
Friday 8:15 a.m. to 2 p.m.
360 minutes x 1 day = 345 minutes
Total number of minutes in the school week =
1,680 + 345 = 2,025 minutes in the school week
2,025 minutes will be the denominator in the following calculation
Step 2: Determine the number of minutes the student is removed
from nondisabled peers based upon the IEP
I. Special Education Frequency / Amount Location Duration
Life Skills 180 minutes / daily Special Education Class 2006-2007 SY
Language Arts 60 minutes / daily Special Education Class 2006-2007 SY
Functional Math Skills 60 minutes / daily Special Education Class 2006-2007 SY
II. Related Services Frequency / Amount Location Duration

Physical Therapy 60 minutes / 3 times per Physical Therapy 2006-2007 SY
week Room
1,890 minutes becomes the numerator in the calculation
Step 3: Do the equation
• Divide the total minutes of removal (1,890 minutes) by total number of
minutes in the school week (2,025 minutes)
• 1,800 minutes / 2,025 minutes = 0.933
• 0.933 x 100 = 93.3% time of removal from regular class
• 93.3% = Code C (removed from nondisabled peers more than 60% of
the time)
