TUTORING FOR PAY

It is expected that every effort will be made by the principal and teacher to help the child with his/her difficulties at school before recommending that parents engage a tutor. The School Committee believes that by maintaining a high quality instructional staff and providing for a rich, varied curriculum, the need for individual tutoring is minimized.

Should individual tutoring be recommended in exceptional cases, the superintendent is directed to establish such rules as will protect both the school system and the teachers from charges of conflict of interest.

It is suggested that tutoring for pay not occur in the school buildings nor should it be conducted by the child's current teacher.
