About Home Hospital Instruction
Home/Hospital instruction is provided to students who are temporarily unable to
attend school for an estimated period of four weeks or more because of a
physical and/or mental disability or illness. The program does not
provide tutoring to students caring for an infant or a relative who is
ill.
School districts determine student eligibility for
H/H tutoring based on the requirements found in Washington
Administrative Code
WAC 392-172A-02100 and guidelines for district administration of the Home/Hospital Instruction Program.
