Medical Exemption for Remote Instruction 2021-22
The District is aware of the potential for some students to request remote instruction. Remote instruction will be provided by a NYS Certified teacher through an outside provider and not a Lansingburgh CSD Teacher.
Please note that course options and electives will be limited for students in grades 6-12. To allow for proper scheduling, class sizes and budgeting purposes, this does require a commitment for the ENTIRE SCHOOL YEAR.
This option is only available to those children who have a disabling medical condition that may prohibit their safe return to in-person instruction. These students will be referred to the Committee on Special Education (CSE) if they are already classified as a Special Education student or will be referred to our 504 Team who can determine appropriate accommodations with input from a student’s caregivers and health care provider.
Families will need to provide supporting documentation from the child’s treating physician to confirm the medical basis of this request. The CSE or 504 Team, including caregivers and doctors, will collectively determine if the student requires remote instruction. Accommodations are only available to the student with the disabling medical condition, not their siblings. The District is also not obligated to provide remote instruction to a child who resides with someone else who has a heightened vulnerability to COVID-19.
