• 「彼を休ませてください」 = "Please let him rest."
Haruko uses polite form plus the causative to make a "demand" of Shibata, which sounds very courteous but is really an order.

Shibata also comes to the school and looks surprised when Haruko tells him touting is banned too. Haruko asks him to make Jin Li quit her part-time job.

I heard touting is out, too?

Because Haruko missed the extra lesson, Takasu is furious, saying a teacher standing up a remedial class is unheard of. Haruko pushes back that a teacher's job is not just teaching.
