In accordance with the school board policy, Baldwin County Public Schools provides homebound services for those students who are not able to attend school for medical and/or mental health reasons that are acute, catastrophic, or chronic.  If a student’s anticipated duration of absence from school exceeds 15 consecutive school days, the student will be eligible for services under the provisions of this policy. 

These homebound procedures apply to all students who are not identified as eligible under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).  For those students who are identified as eligible under the IDEA, homebound services and instruction will be determined by the student’s IEP team, and if deemed applicable, administered through the Baldwin County Board of Education’s Special Services Department.
