§  1917-a.  Employees; employment rights; creation of new central high   school district. 1.  Teachers  and  other  staff  members  of  component   districts,  except  the superintendent of schools, whose services in the   component districts are no longer needed because of the  creation  of  a   central  high  school  district  or  the  transference of students to an   existing central high  school  district,  shall  be  granted  employment   rights   in  central  high  school  districts  in  accordance  with  the   provisions of this section.2. As used in this  section,  a  "component  district"  shall  mean  a   central,  union  free  or common school district within the territory of   the central high school district, and a "central high  school  district"   shall  mean  a central high school district existing or created pursuant   to this article.3. In any case in which a  component  district  sends  students  to  a   central  high  school  district,  each  teacher  and all other employees   previously employed in the education of such students by such  component   district  prior  to  the  time  that  such  component district sends its   students to a central high school district shall be considered employees   of such central high school district, with the same tenure  status  held   in such component district.For  purposes  of  this  section, when a component district takes back   students that it sent to another district on a tuition basis  and  sends   such  students  to  a  central  high  school district, such central high   school district shall be deemed the "sending district" for  purposes  of   the rights and protections provided in section three thousand fourteen-c   of this chapter.4. If the number of teaching and other positions needed to provide the   educational  services  required  by such central high school district is   less than the number of teachers and  other  employees  eligible  to  be   considered employees of such central high school district as provided by   subdivision  three  of  this  section,  the services of the teachers and   other employees having the least seniority  in  the  component  district   within  the  tenure  area  of  the  position shall be discontinued. Such   teachers and other employees 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  component   district,  the "receiving district" as defined in section three thousand   fourteen-c of this chapter, from which a component  district  has  taken   back  students,  and the central high school district similar to the one   such teacher or other employee filled in such  component  district.  The   teachers and other employees on such preferred lists shall be reinstated   or  appointed  to  such  vacancies  in  such  corresponding  or  similar   positions under the  jurisdiction  of  the  component  district  or  the   central  high school district in the order of their length of service in   such component district,  within  seven  years  from  the  date  of  the   abolition of such office or position.5.  For any such teacher or other employee as described in subdivision   three of this section for salary, sick leave and any other purposes, the   length of service credited in such component district shall be  credited   as employment time with such central high school district.6.  This  section  shall in no way be construed to limit the rights of   any of such teachers  or  other  employees  described  in  this  section   granted by any other provision of law.
