Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

We contacted the Building Coordinators Network and asked them to report how many hours they spent in this role. Given that depending on the person this could be a full-time job or just part of a bigger set of responsibilities, we averaged the hours per year of those who answered and multiplied it by the entire Building Coordinator population (180 educators).
