Purpose
The Board shall provide individual instruction to students demonstrating
such a need due to physical disability, illness or injury, psychological/psychiatric
reasons, or as approved by the Superintendent or designee.
Eligibility
Applications for individual instruction shall:
- be recommended by a physician or a building principal and be approved
by the Superintendent or designee and
- certify the nature of the illness or disability and
- state the probable duration of the need for homebound instruction
and
- the Superintendent or designee may grant such recommended requests
for individual instruction and report each to the Board at its next
regular meeting.
The Board will only provide
individual instruction for periods of time expected to last for longer
than two weeks, but exceptions may be made as the Superintendent or
designee deems advisable and so recommends.
Program
The purpose of individual instruction given each student shall be in
accordance with the standards established by the Secretary of Education.
Exception
The Board authorizes the Superintendent or designee to approve the location
and conditions under which homebound instruction may occur. In
addition, the Superintendent or designee is also authorized to withhold
homebound instruction when there is a risk to the health of a teacher,
a parent or other adult in authority is not at home with the student
during hours of instruction, and/or the condition of the student is
such as to preclude his/her benefit from such instruction.
The Superintendent or
designee shall develop procedures to guard the privacy of each child
placed on homebound instruction. |
