Issued:
Any teacher may enter into an agreement with parent(s)/guardian(s) for tutoring children for a fee, but
this practice shall be limited to those children whom the teacher is not currently exercising teaching,
administrative, or supervisory responsibility. No private teaching or tutoring shall be done during the
hours of the regular school day.
Any teacher who enters into a private tutoring agreement with a parent/guardian does so as an
independent actor and not as an agent of the school district. The school district shall not be liable for
any claims, damages, or liabilities arising from or related to private tutoring services provided by a
school employee. The teacher providing such tutoring services shall assume full responsibility and
liability, and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the school district, its board members,
administrators, and employees from any and all claims, demands, actions, or causes of action arising
out of or in connection with such services.
