What is Homebound?
Homebound instruction involves the delivery of educational services by school district personnel within a student's home. Homebound instruction was initially seen as an educational service option for students with impairments that made them physically incapable of attending school, but other reasons are also considered (i.e. illness, accident, surgery, or pregnancy).

Are there different types of Homebound offered?
Homebound services can be offered full time or for intermittent services, depending on the services needed. Most Homebound services will be provided strictly online via Edgenuity which helps make the experience even more flexible for the student's needs. A certified teacher will be provided for assistance as needed.
