2412 - HOMEBOUND INSTRUCTION PROGRAM
The Board of Education shall provide, pursuant to requirements 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, parent, student, or other care giver. A physician must:
| A. | certify the nature and existence of a medical condition; | |
| B. | state the probable duration of the confinement; | |
| C. | request such instruction. |
Applications must be approved by Superintendent.
The District shall begin the instruction within fifteen (15) days after notification in order to arrange for a meeting of an I.E.P.C., if necessary.
The program of homebound or hospitalized instruction given each student shall be in accordance with regulations of the State Board of Education with such exceptions as may be recommended by the physician. Teachers of homebound special education students shall hold a Michigan teaching certificate appropriate for the type of instruction called for by an I.E.P.C. Teachers of nondisabled students must hold a valid teaching certificate.
The District reserves the right to withhold homebound instruction when:
| A. | the instructor's presence in the place of a student's confinement presents a hazard to the health of the 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. |
