Regulation

1. ELIGIBILITY
   1. Home Instruction is provided for students unable to attend regular classes, in the following order of priority:
      1. students under medical advisement;
      2. students awaiting program placement.
   2. For a student to be eligible for Home Instruction:
      1. the student must be recommended by the principal of the school in which the student is normally registered and have a letter from a medical doctor indicating the student is unable to attend school; or
      2. the student must be recommended by the principal of the school in which the student is normally registered and have the approval of the principal of Argyll Centre, and
      3. the school principal must obtain the consent of the student's parent(s).
   3. In the event that the parent(s) refuse home instruction programming through Argyll Centre and the principal believes that such programming is required because providing programming for the student in any other setting would impair the school's ability to fulfill its responsibilities to ensure a safe environment for all students, the principal may recommend an expulsion pending availability of a proposed placement as per Section 1(a) above.
