It is the procedure of the Shelby County Board of Education to give the same
weight to grades awarded by a teacher of students on a hospital/homebound program
as to the grades given by the regular teacher in the school. The grades reported
by the hospital/homebound teacher are to be averaged with the grades the student
has received while attending school. This would also include any tests, including
both mid-term and final examinations. In the event the child was on the homebound
program for less than two weeks, individual grades will be given. Otherwise,
weekly averages will be given for a student on a hospital/homebound program for
an extended period of time.
