Discussion Post: Law, the "Code" Or Other School /District Policies
Ms. W, a fourth-grade music teacher, emails parents using the school's email, notifying them that she is available on weekends and after school to teach violin to students at a reasonable hourly rate. Several of her violin students have been struggling with their lessons. Ms. W feels that the extra time out of school will benefit the students.
