Home/Hospital Instruction is designed as a temporary service, with the intent to maintain continuity of the student’s instructional program during the interim period of disability; however, the health recovery of the student is priority one with school being secondary. While home teaching will help the student progress academically, it is important to understand that student performance may not be equal to pre-home teaching levels. (Balancing educational achievement and wellness/recovery is a constant challenge for students, teachers, and parents, which cannot be overlooked or minimized.) To that end, Home and Hospital does not replace, over an extended period of time, the regularly required instructional program.
