Tutoring fees and 'hybrid' solution

Discussion

8:20 → 17:21(9m 1s)

Chair (Speaker 1) opened discussion of a policy subsection (section e) that would limit which staff may accept fees for tutoring. Speaker 2 proposed either striking the section or revising it to allow elementary teachers but restrict staff assigned to secondary buildings. Speaker 6 argued the district should allow tutoring if it helps retain or attract students; board members raised equity and consistency concerns (fee caps, differential charging) and suggested requiring contracted/after-hours tutoring only. The board directed staff to revise language and move the policy toward first reading.
