§ 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.
