I have not been hired yet, but my understanding is that all the tutoring
would take place in Sioux Center in the tutoring center, yes. The Excel
Achievement Center just opened in Sioux Center and is run by Megan
Kooima. If hired, I would contracted to work the entire school year, but never
during school hours. During the school year, tutoring occurs Mon-Thurs from
4:30-7:30 and Saturday from 9-12. I would be hoping for a positing tutoring
1 evening a week and 1 Saturday morning a month. I believe Lanae Faber
is working with them this summer, though I haven't yet discussed it with her.

Here is the policy:

Code No. 408.3

LICENSED EMPLOYEE TUTORING
Every effort will be made by the licensed employees to help students with learning
problems before
recommending that the parents engage a tutor. Since there are exceptional cases when
tutoring will help students
overcome learning deficiencies, tutoring by licensed employees may be approved by the
superintendent.

Licensed employees may only tutor students other than those for whom the teacher is
currently exercising
teaching, administrative or supervisory responsibility unless approved by the
superintendent.
Tutoring for a fee may not take place within school facilities or during regular school
hours unless approved by
the superintendent.

You will be fine, but you cant be paid to tutor your own students and it must be
outside of your contracted time. Can you tell me about the service? Is it a Sioux
Center business? Will it take place in Sioux Center?

Mr. Janzen,
I interview next week for a tutoring job in Sioux Center and Mr. Ortman mentioned that there
is some board policy referencing tutoring students. I was unaware of this but if it will be a
conflict please let me know. Because I would be tutoring in Sioux Center, I assume that there
would be few, if any, Rock Valley students.
