... school conducts most of the classes in temporary buildings with little sound insulation. We will also examine the role of any limitation in the aircraft noise modeling, such as, gross over- or under-prediction of aircraft noise levels due to incorrect model input assumptions.

... 4. Noise Measure We will have same INM input files and ETMS operational data as the Datum and Alternative 1 and can calculate the same noise metrics as we proposed in those other candidates.

... • How do teachers who are regularly exposed to aircraft noise at school differ from teachers who are not exposed to aircraft noise at school with respect to inhibitory factors including stress, health difficulties, noise annoyance, absenteeism, and vocal strain? • According to students and teachers, how, if at all, does aircraft noise influence teaching and learning?
From page 121...
... • There is no "state" effect. Test scores are standardized to the same mean and standard deviation in each state in order to enable aggregation of results across states.
