Home Hospital
The Mercer Island School District, upon request from a student’s parent/legal guardian, or an adult student, will provide home or hospital instruction when that student is unable to attend school for an estimated period of at least four (4) weeks, but fewer than eighteen (18) weeks, because of disability or illness. A written statement from a qualified medical practitioner verifying that the student will not be able to attend school for an estimated period between four (4) and eighteen (18) weeks must accompany the request to be considered by the District. The District will not pay for any costs incurred in securing the medical verification.
