2412 - HOME INSTRUCTION PROGRAM
The Board of Education shall provide, pursuant to rules of the State Board of Education, individual instruction to students of legal school age who are not able to attend classes because of a physical or emotional disability or illness.
Applications for individual instruction shall be made by a physician licensed to practice in this State and shall certify the nature of the illness, state the probable duration of the confinement and must be approved by the Superintendent.
The Board will provide home bound instruction only for those confinements expected to last at least thirty (30) calendar days but exceptions may be made by the Superintendent as s/he deems advisable.
The program of home bound instruction given each student shall be in accordance with rules of the State Board of Education with such exceptions as may be recommended by the school medical inspector or Placement Team. Teachers shall hold an Ohio teaching certificate appropriate for the level of instruction for which the assignment is made.
The Board reserves the right to withhold home bound instruction when:
| A. | the instructor's presence in the place of a student's confinement presents a hazard to the health of teacher. | |
| B. | a parent or other adult in authority is not at home with the student during the hours of instruction. | |
| C. | the condition of the student is such as to preclude his/her benefit from such instruction. |
The Superintendent shall develop procedures for implementing the policy.
