It is expected that homebound instructional services will be short-term and unless there are exceptional circumstances homebound services shall not exceed 171 school days, i.e. the normal school year. While a student is receiving homebound instructional services, that student remains enrolled in and the responsibility of the school site the student attended immediately before receiving homebound services.
