§ 3014-d. Teachers' rights as a result of a school district sending

students to another district on a tuition basis pursuant to section two

thousand forty of this chapter. 1. As used in this section, a "sending

district" shall mean a school district which sends students to another

school district on a tuition basis pursuant to section two thousand

forty of this chapter, and a "receiving district" shall mean a school

district which receives and provides the educational program for

students from another district on a tuition basis pursuant to section

two thousand forty of this chapter.

2. In any case in which a sending district sends such students to a

receiving district, each teacher previously employed in the education of

students by such sending district prior to the time that such sending

district sends its students to a receiving district shall be considered

an employee of such receiving district, with the same tenure status he

maintained in such sending district.

3. If the number of teaching positions needed to provide the

educational services required by such receiving district is less than

the number of teachers eligible to be considered employees of such

receiving district as provided by subdivision two of this section, the

services of the teachers having the least seniority in the sending

district within the tenure area of the position shall be discontinued.

Such teachers shall be placed on a preferred eligible list of candidates

for appointment to a vacancy that may thereafter occur in an office or

position under the jurisdiction of the sending district and the

receiving district similar to the one such teacher filled in such

sending district. The teachers on such preferred list shall be

reinstated or appointed to such vacancies in such corresponding or

similar positions under the jurisdiction of the sending district or the

receiving district in the order of their length of service in such

sending district, within seven years from the date of the abolition of

such office or position.

4. For any such teacher as described in subdivision two of this

section for salary, sick leave and any other purposes, the length of

service credited in such sending district shall be credited as

employment time with such receiving district.

5. This section shall in no way be construed to limit the rights of

any of such teachers described in this section granted by any other

provision of law.
