! Interpret with caution. The coefficient of variation (CV) for this estimate is 30 percent or greater. NOTE: Distance education courses are defined as courses that are credit-granting, technology-delivered, have either the instructor in a different location than the students and/or have the course content developed in, or delivered from, a different location than that of the students. Percentages are based on districts with students enrolled in distance education courses. For instructional delivery, synchronous refers to simultaneous, or "real time," instruction.
