Instructions
and Information for Parents |
|
The Georgia Board of Education
recognizes its responsibility, in accordance
with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act
of 1973, to provide a public education
program for students who have a
medically-diagnosed physical condition that
restricts them to a hospital or home for a
period of time that will significantly
interfere with their education.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION
CAREFULLY
|
|
|
Eligibility |
To be eligible for hospital/homebound
educational services a medical referral form
with a specific diagnosis must be submitted
to the local school system, completed and
signed by a licensed physician. Included in
this form shall be a statement by the
physician that the student will be absent a
minimum of 10 school days, verification that
the illness confines the student to a
hospital, nursing facility or home, and a
statement that the student is physically
able to participate in educational
instruction. Students are not eligible for
hospital/homebound instructional services if
absence is due to communicable disease,
pregnancy not requiring abnormal restriction
of activities as prescribed by a licensed
physician, if the illness does not confine
them to a facility or if such services are
not specified in the individualized
education program (IEP) of a special
education student. |
| |
|
Requirements |
|
Instructional services are to be offered in a
home or hospital setting. An
adult must be present during each entire
home instructional period. The student is to
be restricted to the home while receiving
homebound services.
For the purposes of counting attendance, the
student will be counted present if
instructional services are provided for
three hours per week.
