Overview

The Home and Hospital Teaching Program is designed to provide instructional continuity to students who are unable to attend their regular school of enrollment due to a:

  • Physical crisis.
  • Emotional crisis.
  • Pregnancy.
  • Chronic Health Impairment.

It is a short-term, interim instructional service mandated by State law with specific guidelines for program implementation and delivery for up to 60 days for compliant applications with a valid medical diagnosis. These educational services enable students to continue their academic work and to remain current with their peers as they heal and prepare for their return back to the school building. The Home and Hospital teaching program is provided only during the academic year except for students whose Individualized Education Programs provide for additional instruction beyond the regular school calendar. Depending on the needs of the student, instruction can be provided in the home of the student, in a hospital, in a community setting, virtually, or a hybrid combination to meet the needs of the student.

School Based Teams and Special Education Teams along with consultation from the Home and Hospital Teaching Program will meet to assist in problem solving best practice for students.
