Bill > H1045

This bill requires Florida school districts to provide instruction to students in kindergarten through 12th grade who are homebound or hospitalized, establishing clear procedures for this service. Specifically, it mandates that school districts develop and submit to the department (presumably the Florida Department of Education) their proposed methods for providing special instruction and services for exceptional students, including those who are homebound or hospitalized. The bill outlines that these procedures must define criteria for student eligibility, the process for determining that eligibility, acceptable methods for delivering instruction to homebound or hospitalized students, and the requirements for starting these instructional services once a student is deemed eligible. This initiative aims to ensure that students facing medical challenges can continue their education.
