PERSONNEL - CERTIFIED
TUTORING
The instruction of students in a teacher’s class is a part of his/her regular duty. Students
are entitled to a reasonable amount of time and assistance from their teacher.
In accordance with the Connecticut Code of Professional Responsibility for Teachers
(CGS 10-145d-400a), no teacher shall accept payment for privately tutoring a student
currently in his/her class, nor any student whose promotion and/or educational
program is directly his/her responsibility. Tutoring, as considered here, is defined as
private instruction for a fee outside the school program, but does not include
instrumental music lessons. This policy shall not apply to teachers employed by the
school system for the purposes of mandated homebound instruction, after school
tutoring, and/or the district-sponsored summer school program.
School personnel shall avoid recommending specific tutors to parents, but rather make
a referral to the school office where a list is maintained for this purpose. All teachers
interested in tutoring must submit a written request to the principal to be added to this
list. The office will distribute the list to parents and/or community members as
requested.
School personnel who wish to utilize school facilities for private tutoring shall follow
Colchester Board of Education’s Facility Use Policy #1330.
