Under this new program,
any student whose length of
disability is determined by
competent medical
authority to exceed a
minimum of four weeks, will
be eligible to receive at least
five hours of weekly
instruction from a visiting
teacher--whether it be in the
home or in the hospital.
Mrs. Elsie Jones,
instructor in the
Exceptional Children’s
program at White Oak
School, will be the new
homeboud teacher. Mrs.
Jones will, however,
continue to work with
stfidents at White Oak
School.
In serving as the laison
between school and home,
Mrs. Jones will work closely
with the student’s teacher in
getting assignments. By the
time each pupil is able to
return to his regular class,
following an extended
illness of four weeks or
more, he should be able to
maintain his position with
his classmates in the basic
subject areas. She will also
work closely with the
principal, parents and
hospital, in matters relative
to the pupils needs.
Before the advent of the
Homebound and
Hospitalized program,
students unable to attend
school for a long period of
time was dropped from the
role, and concerned parents
would often go to the
expense of .hiring a tutor for
.the child. These steps will no
longer be necessary. The ill
or physically incapacitated
student will now remain on
the class roll and will
receive credit for work
. satifactorily completed.
With the addition of this
homebound and
hospitalized program,
which will provide
instruction to children who
are disabled to the extent
that it is impossible for them
to attend public school even
with the provisions of
special classes and
transportation, one more
bannier of providing
educational instruction to
the excluded child has been
overcome in the Edenton-
Chowan School System.
