Home Teaching Program

Students expelled from the regular day-school program are assigned to home teaching by a Superintendent’s Designee.  The Home Teaching program is designed to provide instruction to expelled students either at their residence or another site, such as a local library.  Secondary expelled students in grades 7 through 12 may be assigned to the teleclass program, which provides distance learning instruction in the four core subject areas by certified BCPS teachers.   Middle and high school IEP and non-IEP students may be provided instruction for four hours a week by a tutor while elementary students are provided instruction in reading, language arts, social studies, mathematics, and science for a total of six hours a week by a tutor. Students are assessed in order to identify their current competency levels so that teachers/tutors can reinforce basic skills and raise achievement  levels in mathematics, reading, and writing to help prepare students academically to return to their home schools.
