NAC387.291. Pupil receiving group instruction in medical facility.

     1. A pupil who has an illness or disability which dictates that the requirement of compulsory attendance be fulfilled by instruction as part of a group in a medical facility under the supervision of a licensed teacher employed by the school district shall be deemed enrolled within that district if he or she is scheduled to receive at least 15 hours of instruction per week directly from the supervising teacher. If a pupil does not attend or participate in the instruction for more than 10 consecutive school days, the school district shall report the pupil as a withdrawal pursuant to NAC 387.215. The pupil may reenroll after such a withdrawal if he or she is able and willing to participate in the instruction.

     2. Each 3 hours of teaching devoted to instruction of pupils under this program is the equivalent of a full day of attendance. More than 1 day of attendance may be accumulated during a single instructional session of more than 3 hours, but the number of days of attendance reported for the pupil for that school year may not exceed the number of school days in session during that school year.

     3. A pupil with a disability receiving instruction pursuant to this section must receive the type and duration of instruction specified in the pupil’s individualized education program, and all reporting of enrollment and attendance must be based upon the requirement of that program.

     4. The pupil may be reported monthly as enrolled and in attendance at the school he or she would normally attend, or a separate monthly report may be submitted, marked “Instruction of Groups in a Medical Facility.”
