Under what circumstances can a student qualify for homebound instruction?
In general, a school district must offer homebound for any student who is hospitalized or homebound for more than one week due to injury or illness. In some cases, homebound instruction must also be offered for a student who is hospitalized or placed in as state accredited or certified treatment facility in another school district for more than one week. In such cases, the student’s home district can either offer the instruction directly, or contract with the district in which the facility housing the student is located.
