How do I count a HB student?

Report data for students that receive instruction at home or at a hospital due to injury or illness at any time during the collection period, Dec 2, 2006 through Dec 1, 2007.
 Special Education students with an IEP that are homebound (Code 13) are NOT included in this report because they are homebound.
