HOME/HOSPITAL Services – For any student with a chronic or temporary medical or mental health condition that prevents them from attending school for a minimum of five consecutive school days, BCPS has a Home/Hospital Program that may be able to help. Our Home/Hospital Program provides curriculum and instruction for qualifying students in their home or hospital room to allow for continuity of instruction during a medical or mental health crisis.

Homeless Liaison – Dr. Prater serves as our district homeless liaison. Liaisons are responsible for: Identifying students in homeless situations, enrolling these students in school., and giving them “full and equal opportunity to succeed.” Please call or email Dr. Prater for further assistance. 

Homeschooling Information - If a family chooses to homeschool, complete accountability for educating the student falls within their scope of responsibilities. The responsibility for selecting the curriculum, maintaining grades, credits, and attendance, and providing any educational resources needed for program completion falls entirely with the family. There is no state financial assistance for families who choose this option, and a high school diploma is only recognized if the program is accredited. 

Pupil Residence Application – Each Kentucky school has non-resident pupils admitted under our district's non-resident pupil policies adopted under KRS 158.120 for those not residing in the district. This application must be completed each year and filed at the school for students living out of the district or wishing to attend another elementary school where they do not reside.
