What is the Departments definition of a “reading tutor” for purposes of the waiver of the institutional-share requirement under the FWS Program?
The Department has provided flexibility for schools to determine a reading tutor’s job description and duties. Therefore, the Department is not providing a definition of a “reading tutor” for the FWS Program. The FWS regulations provide, however, that for a school to obtain a waiver of the FWS institutional-share requirement for students employed as reading tutors, the students must be tutoring preschool-age children or children in elementary school. For example, a FWS student reading to a group of preschoolers in a public library would meet this requirement.
