Tenured Rights Attained. Tenure rights shall continue in full force during periods of less than full- time employment. Half-time teachers may earn tenure in the same manner as full-time teachers provided they complete the required probationary period satisfactorily and they are re-employed. Tenured half-time teachers may seek transfers to both full-time as well as half-time positions through the assignment and transfer program. If staff reduction procedures are placed into effect, tenured half-time teachers participate as half-time employees. Staff reduction procedures and guidelines in effect shall continue. If half-time teachers are displaced from their half-time positions, they may be placed (if qualified) into other vacant half-time or full-time positions, or they may request to be realigned only with other half-time teachers in the school.
