A data layout for 07-08 collection of Homebound (DOE-HB) has been posted with updated information and is opened in the Application Center. At this time, because of the confusion of the reporting period, we will CLOSE 07-08 HB and open back up 06-07. We will open 07-08 HB on Dec 24th. Any data you have submitted for 07-08 will be available on the 24th. Please make note of the following issues:

(1). Report students that are homebound that overlap the collection periods by reporting a record for each school year( or reporting period). The ending date for 2006-2007 would be Dec 1, 2007 and reported on the 06-07 HB collection. The starting date for 2007-2008 would be Dec 2, 2007 until the student returns and will be reported on the 07-08 HB collection.

(2).Report data for students that receive instruction at home or at a hospital due to injury or illness that are absent from school for a minimum of twenty (20) consecutive instructional days during the collection period, Dec 1, 2006 through Dec 2, 2007.

(3). Special Education students with an IEP that are homebound (Code 13) are NOT included in this report solely because they are homebound.
