§ 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.
