Statement of Understanding

Difference between HBI and ALE

In accordance with the Alternative Learning Experience Implementation Standards, reference WAC 392-550-030(10), a school district or charter school that provides alternative learning experience courses or course work to a student must include a description of the difference between home-based instruction pursuant to chapter 28A.200 RCW and the alternative learning experience course(s).

Summary Description

Home-Based Instruction
  • Is provided by the parent or guardian as authorized under RCW 28A.200 and 28A.225.010.
  • Parent has filed an annual Declaration of Intent with the district.
  • Students are neither enrolled nor eligible for graduation through a public high school unless they meet all district and state graduation requirements.
  • Students are not subject to the rules and regulations governing public school, including course, graduation, and assessment requirements.
  • The public school is under no obligation to provide instruction or instructional materials, or to otherwise supervise the student’s education.

Home-based Instruction (HBI) students may have access to ancillary services and may enroll in a public school course on a part-time basis (less than full time) where space is available. Students are responsible for maintaining acceptable attendance and for meeting the course and school requirements for courses in which they are enrolled. They maintain their Home-Based Instruction student status.

Alternative Learning Experience Courses
  • Are authorized under WAC 392-121-182.
  • Students are enrolled in public education.
  • Students are subject to the rules and regulations governing public schools, including course, graduation, and assessment requirement for all portions of the ALE.
  • Instructional materials used for coursework meet district standards and are free from sectarian control or influence.
  • Learning experiences are:
  • Supervised, monitored, assess, and evaluated by certificated staff (weekly contact and monthly review).
  • Designed learning experiences planned together with student, parent and teacher.
  • Provided via a Written Student Learning Plan (WSLP).  Provided in whole, or part, outside the regular classroom.
