Leander ISD to seek TEA waiver for remote homebound instruction for one student
Summary
Administration requested board permission to submit an individual remote homebound waiver to TEA for a student whose medical condition prevents in-person homebound services; the waiver would allow remote instruction to be counted toward attendance and homebound funding.
The district is seeking board authorization to submit an individual waiver to the Texas Education Agency to permit remote homebound instruction for one student whose medical needs make in-person homebound services infeasible. Assistant Superintendent of Special Programs Paige Collier outlined the eligibility criteria in the packet: the student must be age six or older, eligible for special education or Section 504, expected to be confined at home or hospital bedside for at least four weeks, and have physician documentation of the medical condition.
If the board authorizes submission of the waiver, administration said the waiver would allow remote instructional days to be counted for homebound funding under the district’s homebound documentation requirements. The packet includes a sample motion authorizing administration to seek the waiver; the agenda materials do not record the board’s vote.
