No, Due to recent changes in the funding mechanism, it is no longer necessary for school districts to submit homebound applications to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education as there is no special funding/reimbursement for school districts that are providing students with homebound services; all funding has been rolled into the foundation formula funding.  This applies to students with and without disabilities.

For documentation purposes, some districts may decide to continue to use the DESE Homebound Instruction Application found on our website.  However, it is important to remember this form is to be used for the district's documentation purposes only and should NOT be sent to DESE.
