Feb 23, 2021 - "The school tracking website, Burbio, suggests schools have been gradually reopening. According to its tracker, 27.5% of students still attend virtual-only schools — down from 31% the week before. "
Feb 23, 2021 - "There are two obvious ways to reopen schools. One is to take precautions like mask wearing that minimize the risk of outbreaks inside school buildings. The other is to vaccinate the country’s teachers as quickly as possible. Both strategies now appear to be feasible — and yet neither is happening in many places. Instead, about half of K-12 students are still not spending any time in classrooms. The rates of school closures are highest in Maryland, New Mexico, California and Oregon, according to Burbio."
Feb 16, 2021 - "An analysis by Burbio shows that most students in the U.S. live in areas with very high rates of community transmission of COVID-19. The new color-coded Centers for Disease Control guidance for reopening schools places them in the red zone. CBS News White House reporter Bo Erickson joins CBSN's Anne-Marie Green and Vladimir Duthiers to discuss what this distinction means for schools and what parents need to know about the CDC guidance."
Feb 9, 2021 - "Sixty-four percent of elementary and middle school students are already seeing some in-person instruction, according to the most current data from Burbio's School Opening Tracker... It measures traditional in-person instruction and hybrid in-person and virtual learning, as well as schools using only virtual learning, which is the way 36% of students are being taught."
Feb 11, 2021 - “According to data from Burbio, a digital platform that tracks school data from across the country, 66 percent of students in kindergarten through 12th grade are already attending traditional in-person classes five days a week, or are on a hybrid schedule — meaning they attend at least one day a week or more."
Feb 3, 2021 - Maryland is one of six states—alongside California, New Mexico, Oregon, Virginia and Washington—where most school districts have remained closed for in-person instruction since the pandemic began, said Dennis Roche, co-founder of New York-based school data group Burbio. “The question now is whether those governors can rally support for reopening schools and persuade teachers to return to classrooms after standing on the sidelines for so long,” he said.
Feb 1, 2021 - “As of Jan. 31, 38.2% of K-12 students were attending schools offering virtual-only instruction, and 37.8% were attending schools offering daily in-person learning, according to a school reopening tracker Burbio..."
Jan 27, 2021 - “'Vaccinating teachers, it would seem, would make things easier,' Dennis Roche said. 'But this hasn’t moved the needle' in districts where education has mostly been virtual."
Jan 27 2021 - "However, Burbio estimates that about a third of the country's students have not had a single day in school since last March. This includes much of the West Coast, the Mid-Atlantic and some big cities like Chicago, Philadelphia, Cleveland and Atlanta."
Jan 22, 2021 - “The moves are a significant step in crafting a national framework for school reopening that until now has largely been left to states, cities and districts in the absence of guidelines from the former Trump administration."
Jan 14 2021 - "...schools that offer only one mode of instruction: virtual learning. That figure was 37.2 percent on Nov. 2. It rose as high as 55 percent on Jan. 10, but that was driven mostly by a brief period in which some schools chose to be remote-only after the holidays, said Dennis Roche, who oversees the project, which follows 1,200 districts."
Jan 11, 2021 - “We expect the percentage of students attending virtual-only schools to drop over the course of the next six weeks as districts who did have students in the classroom in the Fall return after Covid-19 induced breaks,” said Burbio co-founder Julie Roche. “But the myriad of regulatory and labor obstacles to in-person learning in places that have never gotten started, the significant level of hybrid instruction across the US, and the unpredictable course of Covid-19 means the balance of the 2021 academic year will continue to be highly disrupted for the vast majority of K-12 public school students.”
Jan 4, 2021 - "...Maryland and the District of Columbia, as well as the Western states of California, Oregon and Washington have mostly remained closed, while Sunbelt states have reopened."
Dec 9, 2020 - As of Sunday, just over half of K-12 students in the nation attended schools that offer virtual-only plans, 32.5 percent attended “traditional” in-person schools and nearly 17 percent attended hybrid schools, according to Burbio,...
Nov 20, 2020 - ... Already, just over 40% of schoolchildren are attending only virtual classes, a figure that's risen from 36.9% Sunday, according to Burbio, a company that aggregates school calendars.
Nov 01, 2020 - Burbio is excited to be a part of this terrific overview on the state of K-12 education and learning across the US.
Oct 14, 2020 - CBS News contacted Burbio for the latest data on number of students attending schools with in-person learning and posed a question to Dr. Fauci. Watch Video
