[quote=Anonymous]What are the expectations for teachers/staff interested to tutoring?

There is currently no written DCPS policy or guidance that addresses this situation. However, teachers should be aware of DC ethics regulations outlined in 6-B DCMR 1807.4, which states that if a District government employee receives compensation for engaging in teaching activities outside of his/her regular tour of duty, the subject matter of the teaching cannot be “devoted substantially” to the responsibilities, programs, or operations of her agency, to her official duties or responsibilities, or to information obtained from her government employment. There is a BEGA [DC Board of Ethics and Government Accountability] advisory opinion that clarifies “devoted substantially” (https://bega.dc.gov/sites/bega/files/publication/attachments/Advisory_Opinion_0.pdf) to be where the subject of the outside teaching deals in significant part with (1) any ongoing or announced responsibility, program, or operation of the employee’s agency, (2) any of his or her official duties or responsibilities, including any matter to which he or she had been assigned during the previous one-year period, or (3) any information obtained from his or her government employment. Additionally, teachers providing such services cannot use government resources, cannot use non-public DCPS information, and cannot advertise their services (or allow the family to advertise their services) by describing her DCPS employment because this would be using their title for private gain.
