May a tutor in a family literacy program be paid with a federal share of up to 100 percent for preparation and evaluation time, such as weekly meetings held with other tutors?
Yes, as long as the time spent for this purpose is reasonable. The Department expects that all work performed under the FWS Program meet FWS Program requirements and that students will be compensated for a reasonable amount of time to perform various activities necessary to accomplish their tutoring jobs. For example, the Department would consider attending evaluation and preparation meetings once a week for approximately one hour to be reasonable. The Department wants to give some flexibility because of the value of evaluation and preparation time. However, the goal is to spend the funds for FWS students to interact with the families and their children, not for other activities.
