We are seeing more requests for homebound services under Section 504. While it is preferable for the student’s teacher(s) to provide those services, the district is creating a pool of interested teachers in case the need should arise.
- GEH service providers are required to be general education certified teachers.
- GEH services are provided outside of the teacher’s regular contract day on regularly scheduled school days (no holidays or weekends).
- GEH providers receive $30/hour supplemental pay and .67 per mile in mileage reimbursement (calculated as the difference between the teacher’s regular commute and their commute to include the student’s home).
- GEH providers must be available on the parent/student’s schedule and must be willing/able to obligate themselves to provide services (typically 4 hours per week) for the duration of the student’s confinement period. This could mean the remainder of the school year, depending on the individual circumstances.
- GEH services are provided face-to-face in the student’s home.
In these cases, the GEH teacher is not the teacher of record. The classroom teacher(s) are still responsible for providing the same instructional materials for the homebound student as if they were in the classroom. The GEH teacher facilitates that learning in the home with the student and returns all lessons/materials to the teacher of record for grading/recording. The GEH provider is responsible for maintaining a contact log and homebound attendance for PEIMS documentation.
