§ 44803 Probationary Employee Transfer Rights

Key Takeaways

  • •If a school joins a bigger school district, teachers on trial (probationary) keep their trial status in the new district.
  • •Their time working at the old school counts toward their trial period in the new district.
  • •This rule only applies to teachers who need special certificates to teach.

Example

A teacher works at a small school for 1 year on a trial basis. Then, the small school joins a bigger school district.

The teacher’s 1 year at the small school still counts in the bigger district. They don’t start their trial period over.
