HOMEBOUND INSTRUCTION

Students of the LaSalle Parish School District who are unable to attend school because of physical disability may be assigned a properly certified teacher who will instruct them at home or in a hospital.  In order for a student to be considered for homebound instruction, the student, as a result of health care treatment, physical illness, accident, or the treatment thereof, must be temporarily unable to attend school for the provision of regular educational services.  Such incapacitation shall require verification on the application by a physician.  The homebound instruction program is a continuation of the regular school instructional program, designed to help the child return to school without falling too far behind in assigned work.  The student shall be under the same state and local regulations as any other student.  A responsible adult must be present where instruction is provided.

Guidelines for the homebound/hospital instruction program can be found in the LaSalle Parish School Board Procedures for Hospital/Homebound Services.
