The second and third year were completed. Now, this September 1st the beginning of the 4th year of employment should be the tenure date. The district is denying tenure, as stating the first year of employment was a terminal contract for a teacher on leave. However, said teacher was employed for the second and third year in the same position completing three years of service. Is this right? Ia teacher entitled to tenure?

That's only a guess though. The purpose of the wait before the acquisition of tenure is to give the district time to evaluate the teacher. If the teacher has already acquired tenure, it seems pointless to repeat the process. If you get an authoritative answer from somewhere, please share it here.

I wanted to know if non-tenure RIFed teachers and other tenure eligible staff would loose their vested time toward tenure in the district if they are recalled. A reply to my email also if fine. Thank you If my question was asked before I didn’t see it.

If I were to take an additonal 10 workdays off without pay, would my seniority be reduced by those ten days?

After that I was placed on the Child Study Team in the same district. Do I continue to have tenure in the district as a teacher? I believe the answer is yes. Then, I was told that I have to re-obtain tenure as a Child Study Team member since it is a whole different position than a teacher. I was also told that it takes only 2 years since I already have tenure in the district. Does this sound right? I know this focuses on just teacher tenure, but any clarity on this would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you for your time. I was a teacher in a district for 5 years.
