GRADING OF STUDENTS ON HOSPITAL/HOMEBOUND PROGRAM


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.
