Yes, each program must publish a homeliving handbook, which may be incorporated into a general student handbook. During the first week the students and staff are in the dormitory, the homeliving program must:
(a) Provide each student with a copy of the handbook that contains all the provisions in 36.94;
(b) Provide all staff, students, and parents or guardians with a current and updated copy of student rights and responsibilities;
(c) Conduct an orientation for all students on the handbook and student rights and responsibilities; and
(d) Ensure that all students, school staff, and to the extent possible, parents and guardians confirm in writing that they have received a copy of and understand the homeliving handbook.
