We do have tutors, in the library and elsewhere. There is supposedly a
policy but no one enforces it which is truly annoying. It became an issue
last year when we had a tutor who would not leave when the library was
closing, so Security had to be present whenever that tutor was here, to
insist she leave. This year we have a couple of new tutors for 6th graders
(don't get me started) so I pushed for a formal policy along with
accountability, but again, no one wants to be the one responsible for the
accountability part. It means that Annette is here alone into the evening
with adults who are essentially strangers - I have a real problem with
that. I'm curious to know how others handle this.
Our written policy requires a teaching credential, fingerprinting, TB test,
low price or free tutoring in exchange for providing a place to work with
students. Tutors are given a copy of the policy but to date no one has
followed up with them. We get no advance notice - they just show up.
