Hi Marilyn- Our tutors use the library in a pattern similar to yours regarding the vetting, payment and meeting spaces. This also covers OT specialists. And yes, we do have student support of various kinds that uses the library both as a back-up location and a scheduled one. We do not have special tutoring spaces in the library, however.

Our tutors are hired by the school as contractors, and are vetted by the administration. The school coordinates the schedules, but parents pay. I believe the billing may go through the school's business office. In other words, we look at our tutors as an integral part of our community. We don't encourage families to hire tutors to meet with kids on their own. The school also has a policy regarding our own teachers tutoring our students -- this has happened especially with language teachers and some math specialists. We currently have about four tutors who work with our elementary and middle school students before, during and after school. They do meet in the library tutoring spaces, conference rooms, or in the library proper if space is needed and we don't have classes. best, marilyn On Sep 24, 2014, at 10:23 AM, Rachel Shaw <rshaw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:rshaw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>> wrote: Hi BAISL Community, Many of our students utilize the services of private tutors. The tutors come to Bay and work with their client during the students' free block during the school day. Sometimes I have 4 or 5 tutors in the library at one time. I wanted to find out from you all if this is a common scenario and what types of systems your school has in place to monitor this. - Do tutors use your library space? How many? How often? - Does your school have any type of policy related to tutors and school (or library) space? Thank you!
