The school principal, or other appropriate staff member, shall initiate home or hospital instruction based on a physician’s statement that the student will be absent from school for more than thirty (30) consecutive days. (Contagious diseases are excluded.) An educational plan must be developed by the school principal, in conjunction with the student’s teacher(s) and parent which provides continuity with the student’s school program for the time that the student is absent from school. This policy applies only to students who are temporarily incapacitated because of physical injury or illness.
