Burbio entered the K-12 market in July, 2020, launching the
Burbio School Opening Tracker, which became the authority on K-12 learning modalities, measuring whether schools were open for in-person learning every day, only a few days a week (hybrid) or not at all (virtual) during Covid-19. Burbio's nationwide survey of local school activity was cited thousands of times in
the press, as well as by government officials and academic researchers. During 2020-22 Burbio provided data to the CDC, as well as to K-12 suppliers and consumer packaged goods companies whose operations were impacted by pandemic-era educational policies.
