Tennessee Code Title 49. Education § 49-10-1101

(a) Each LEA shall establish a program of homebound instruction for each student who qualifies. A student qualifies for homebound instruction if the student's treating physician certifies in writing that the student has a medical condition that prevents the student from attending regular classes.

(b) If a student qualifies for homebound instruction, then the student's LEA shall offer the student homebound instruction for a minimum of three (3) hours per week. The LEA shall determine how long the student may receive homebound instruction on a case-by-case basis and shall take into consideration the recommendations of the student's treating physician.

(c) If, at the conclusion of any period of homebound instruction, the student's treating physician recertifies in writing that the student's medical condition continues to prevent the student from returning to regular classes, then the LEA shall continue to offer the student three (3) hours of homebound instruction per week, subject to periodic recertification as required by the LEA.
