Common use of Home Hospital Clause in Contracts

Home Hospital. California Education Code 48206.3 requires that Home Hospital be available to students with temporary disabilities that make attendance in regular day classes or alternative education programs impossible or inadvisable. A temporary disability is defined as “a physical, mental, or emotional disability incurred while a student is enrolled in regular day classes or an alternative program, after which the student can reasonably be expected to return to their regular day classes or an alternative education program without special intervention.” Home Hospital students can normally be expected to return to their regular classes after their disability has been addressed through medical intervention. If a student is determined to require Home Hospital instruction, he/she will receive one clock hour of individualized instruction for each day that instruction is offered by the district in the regular education program. The maximum number of hours that can be offered to a student in one week is dependent upon the number of school days in that week. Home Hospital instruction is typically not necessary for students who may be absent for between one and two weeks. Instruction for these students can be handled at the site level through either short-term independent study or regular classroom teacher support with assignments and flexible timelines.
