Visiting Instruction Service 

The Visiting Instruction Service (VIS) provides instruction to students who have had their educational programs interrupted because of temporary physical disability and/or health impairment resulting in confinement to home and/or hospital for three weeks or more.

This service must be requested by the student’s school and certified by the student’s physician. It is an instructional program that is sensitive to the medical factors related to the disability and/or the health impairment indicated. The goal is to establish a continuous, individualized education program closely related to that of the student’s local school.
