SC 1329
Title 22
Sec. 11.25
The Board shall provide, pursuant to law and regulations, individual instruction to
students confined to home or hospital for physical disability, illness, injury, or when
such confinement is recommended for psychological or psychiatric reasons.
2.
Delegation of
Responsibility
Homebound instruction may be provided, at the discretion of the district, upon
application by a parent/guardian and specific submission to the district of medical
evidence and of anticipated length of necessary absence from classes, subject to
review by the administration of the district pursuant to its established procedures.

Guidelines
Homebound instruction is a temporary substitute for compulsory attendance and is
expected to last no more than six (6) weeks. Exceptions may be permitted at the
discretion of the Superintendent or his/her designee.
The program of homebound instruction given each student shall be in accordance
with the standards established by the state.
The Board reserves the right to withhold homebound instruction when:
1.
The instructor's presence in the place of a student's confinement presents a
hazard to the health of the teacher.
2.
A parent/guardian or other adult in authority is not present with the student
during the hours of instruction.
3.
The condition of the student precludes any benefit from such instruction.
