A student may receive educational services at home, in a hospital or other setting because they are unable to attend school due to a medical condition. When an eligible student has a medical condition that will cause:
An absence for two or more days totalling ten days on an ongoing and intermittent basis. OR
An absence for two consecutive weeks of school
Then the student shall be considered for home hospital services.
The amount of instructional time shall not be less than 5 hours per week unless a physician has certified in writing that the child should not receive that amount of instruction in a school week. Instructional time shall be scheduled only on days when school is in regular session. Homebound tutoring must be renewed every six weeks.
Services may begin when the completed Application for Home/Hospital Services has been returned to the Student Services office. The Application should include a parent or guardian signature, the physician's name, address, signature, reason and length of absence and the school official's signature.
People with questions regarding home/hospital instruction should contact Student Services at the District Office.
