This column appears periodically to address your union- or work-related questions.

If you a have a question that you'd like answered in "Your Union Mentor", e-mail your question and your name and local association to: cbutler@nysutmail.org.

If I had tenure in one district, then relocated to another district, will I retain my tenure?

No. Tenure is not transferable from district to district. However, once you have been granted tenure in one district in the state, you need serve only a two-year (instead of three-year) probationary period before being eligible for tenure in another district.
