Home Hospital

Home/Hospital (H/H) Instruction is provided to students who are temporarily unable to attend school for an estimated period of four weeks or more because of a student’s physical and/or mental disability or illness. 

School districts determine student eligibility for H/H tutoring based on the requirements found in the Washington Administrative Code WAC 392-172A-02100.

• H/H is limited to services as deemed necessary to provide temporary intervention as a result of physical and/or mental disability or illness.
• H/H services are limited to a minimum of 4 weeks and a maximum of 18 weeks. Weeks of absences may be consecutive or intermittent but may not exceed the 18-week limit.
• Tutoring is not provided during school vacations unless students are enrolled in a district summer school program.
• Tutoring is limited to 2.25 hours per week.  Duration of tutoring for students in special education is determined by the IEP Team.
