PRIVATE TUTORING
The Board of Education recognizes that the discharge of its responsibility to provide a thorough and efficient system of education for each child in the district may require special help for some pupils beyond the regular classroom program. Tutorial instruction shall be interpreted to mean individualized instruction additional to, and in support of, regular classroom instruction. Wherever possible within the working day, each teaching staff member shall assist assigned pupils in the remediation of individual learning difficulties. In certain cases where extra help is desirable and the parents/guardians request such assistance, a teacher or administrator may recommend that the parents/guardians secure tutorial services for the pupil. The Superintendent or his/her designee is directed to establish such rules as will protect both the school system and the teachers from charges of conflict of interest. To avoid placing a teacher in a position where he/she may have a conflict of interest, teachers shall not tutor, for a fee, pupils enrolled in their classes or upon whose evaluation or assignment they may be called upon to pass. Nor shall any employee of the Board make a commitment to perform services for extra pay when he/she has been instrumental in recommending the need for those services. Teachers shall not tutor any pupil for pay during regular working hours or on school premises.
