Medical Homebound

Medical Homebound instruction is an instructional support services program provided by the school district. South Carolina State Board of Education regulation (Regulation 43-241) states that students who cannot attend school because of illness, accident or pregnancy, even with the aid of transportation may be considered for services. Prior to participating in the program, the student’s physician must certify that the student is unable to attend school but may benefit from instruction given in the home or hospital and must complete the Medical Homebound Instruction Form. Upon receipt, review and verification of the form, district officials will determine if homebound instruction is the best educational option for the student. The program is aligned with the regular academic school year.  

Please understand that medical homebound is designed to support a student for a short-term absence from school due to a medical condition. 

For additional information, please reach out to your student’s school-based medical homebound coordinator or contact Andrea R. Murray at (843) 379-7807 or Anjanette Capers at (843) 322-5446.
