needs of the school system, that interviews and performance tests be
conducted for teaching service positions, pursuant to section two
thousand five hundred sixty-nine of this article, so that qualifying
eligible lists may be ready for promulgation as soon as vacancies come
into existence. Where vacancies already exist, and cannot be filled
because eligible lists have been exhausted, the chancellor shall require

least one of the four preceding years, exclusive of any breaks in
service, and did not receive an ineffective rating in the final year of
his or her probationary period or during the most recent school year
where a rating was received, and would have been in the superintendent
of schools' discretion qualified for appointment on tenure based upon
performance, notwithstanding that his or her annual professional
performance review had not been completed and he or she had not received
an annual professional performance rating for the two thousand
nineteen--two thousand twenty, two thousand twenty--two thousand
twenty-one or the two thousand twenty-one--two thousand twenty-two

received such ratings of effective or highly effective for at least
three of the four preceding school years, exclusive of any breaks in

education may grant tenure contingent upon a classroom teacher's or
building principal's receipt of a minimum rating in the final year of
the probationary period, pursuant to the requirements of this section,
and if such contingency is not met after all appeals have been
exhausted, the grant of tenure shall be void and unenforceable and the

schools of such school district who have served the full probationary
period as extended pursuant to this subdivision shall hold their

pursuant to section three thousand twelve-c or section three thousand
twelve-d of this chapter of either effective or highly effective in at
least one of the four preceding years, exclusive of any breaks in
service, and did not receive an ineffective rating in the final year of
his or her probationary period or during the most recent school year
where a rating was received, and would have been in the superintendent

an annual professional performance rating for the two thousand
nineteen--two thousand twenty, two thousand twenty--two thousand
twenty-one or the two thousand twenty-one--two thousand twenty-two

three thousand twelve-d of this chapter for three consecutive years, no
ratings shall be required for the superintendent of schools to recommend
for appointment on tenure such teacher or building principal if the
teacher or principal would have been, in the superintendent of schools'
discretion, qualified for appointment on tenure based upon performance,
notwithstanding that his or her annual professional performance review
had not been completed and he or she had not received a composite annual
professional performance review rating for the two thousand
nineteen--two thousand twenty, two thousand twenty--two thousand
twenty-one and two thousand twenty-one--two thousand twenty-two school
years; provided that in the case of a classroom teacher or building
principal appointed during the two thousand twenty-one--two thousand

any other provision of this section to the contrary, when a teacher
receives an effective and/or highly effective rating in each year of his

constitute cause for removal.
8. No charges under this section shall be brought more than three
years after the occurrence of the alleged incompetency or misconduct
except where the charge is of misconduct which resulted in conviction
for a crime.
9. No principal, supervisor, director, or teacher shall be appointed
to the teaching force of a city who does not possess qualifications
required under this chapter and under the regulations prescribed by the
commissioner of education for the persons employed in such positions in
the schools of the cities of the state, but a board of education may
prescribe additional or higher qualifications for the persons employed
in any of such positions.
10. (a) In a city having a population of one million or more,
recommendations for appointment to the teaching service shall be from
the first three persons chosen by random selection from the qualifying
eligible lists prepared by the chancellor. Competitive eligible lists in
existence at the time of enactment of this subdivision shall not be
merged and any such lists shall be exhausted or have expired before
nominations are made from a qualifying list of a subsequent date
promulgated hereunder. Qualifying eligible lists for supervisory
positions shall be merged with any subsequently promulgated lists in the
same license area so that there shall be one continuing non-expiring
eligible list for each license area. No competitive eligible list shall
remain in force for a longer period than four years, nor have a life of
less than three years. No competitive eligible list now in force shall
terminate any sooner than four years from the date on which it was

been assigned to teach in a subject or field not specifically covered in
his license but on the same rank or level of service shall be entitled
to his salary.
(b) Qualifying eligible lists for teaching and supervisory positions
shall consist of the names of all persons who have met the eligibility
requirements for appointment as defined by the chancellor pursuant to
sections two thousand five hundred ninety-j and two thousand five
hundred sixty-nine of this chapter. Where the regulations of the
commissioner do not identify a state certificate that corresponds to a
license utilized by the city school district, the chancellor shall
develop and administer an examination appropriate to the license,
provided the development of such examination and the passing score are
based upon appropriate validity studies conducted in accordance with
professional standards of measurement. For teaching service positions,
competitive eligible lists in existence on the effective date of this
paragraph shall not be merged. Subsequently promulgated qualifying
eligible lists in the same license area shall be merged so that there
shall be one qualifying eligible list for each license area. No
candidate shall remain on the qualifying eligible list longer than seven
years from the date the candidate is placed on the qualifying eligible
list. This paragraph does not affect the examinations for teaching or
supervisory service positions announced by the board of examiners prior
to the effective date of this paragraph.
(i) Each year, the chancellor shall direct the division of personnel
to select by random selection from among candidates who are available
for assignment and who are on the qualifying eligible lists for teaching
positions in existence on such date for each license area, a list of
prospective appointees deemed to be sufficient to meet the needs of the
school system for the next school year. The random selection to
establish the initial list of prospective appointees shall be held prior
to April first, nineteen hundred ninety-one. In any instance where the
list of prospective appointees is insufficient for the twelve month
period, the chancellor shall direct the division of personnel to select
by random selection additional candidates who are available for
assignment and who are on qualifying eligible lists in order to compile
a supplementary list of prospective appointees.
(ii) Candidates selected by a random selection system and whose names
appear on the list of prospective appointees for teaching positions
shall be assigned to community districts and to divisions under the
jurisdiction of the chancellor in the order in which their names were
selected by such system provided that each appointment by the chancellor
or community board as appropriate shall be made from among the first
three persons so assigned.
(iii) Lists of prospective appointees for teaching positions shall not
be merged and a list shall be exhausted or have expired before
assignments are made from a list of prospective appointees selected by a
random selection procedure of subsequent date. No candidate shall remain
on the list of prospective appointees longer than seven years from the
date that the candidate was placed on the qualifying eligible list.
10-a. In the city school district of the city of Buffalo, members of
the teaching and supervising staff appointed on or after the effective
date of this subdivision shall be required to hold a state teaching
certificate, but shall not be required to hold a license issued by the
Buffalo city school district. Persons appointed to the teaching and
supervising staff prior to such effective date may continue to serve
under a license issued by such city school district and the board of
education shall be authorized to issue permanent licenses and permanent
certificates of appointment after such effective date to such persons
who fulfill all announced requirements for the position that were
imposed at the time of appointment. Nothing in this chapter shall affect
the rights of persons serving pursuant to appropriate licenses issued
prior to the effective date of this subdivision or require such persons
to obtain certifications or licenses not previously required of them.
11. In a city have a population of one million or more, the board of
education, subject to the approval of the commissioner of education,
shall have power to authorize the superintendent of schools to assign
any teacher employed to teach any subject or subjects other than any
specific subject for which such teacher is licensed. No such assignment
shall be made unless the superintendent of schools shall have certified
that such teacher is competent to teach the assigned subject or
subjects. The superintendent of schools with the approval of the board
of education, shall have power to make rules and regulations in relation
to ascertainment of competency of teachers to teach such assigned
subject or subjects. The assignment of a teacher to teach any such
assigned subject shall not operate to change the rank or level of such
teacher from that which he or she occupied prior to such assignment.
12. The salaries of all members of the supervising and teaching force
and of all employees and for all positions authorized under section
twenty-five hundred four of this article shall continue to be not lower
than such salaries were on June eighth, nineteen hundred seventeen.
Rules and regulations shall be adopted governing excusing of absences
and for the granting of leaves of absence either with or without pay.
13. Teachers appointed in the schools or classes maintained in the
institutions controlled by the department of correction of the city of
New York shall be appointed by the commissioner of correction of such
city upon the nomination of the superintendent of schools of such city
and shall be licensed by the board of examiners of the board of
education of such city.
15. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section no period in
any school year for which there is no required service and/or for which
no compensation is provided shall in any event constitute a break or
suspension of probationary period or continuity of tenure rights of any
of the persons hereinabove described.
16. In the city school district of the city of New York, the board of
education shall ascertain prior to August first, nineteen hundred sixty,
and annually thereafter the number of appointments which will be
required for the duration of not less than a term of the ensuing school
year by reason of leaves of absence granted to members of the teaching
staff serving on tenure. The board shall thereupon establish and make
appointments to positions of replacement teachers in a number which,
including any such teachers already serving as a result of earlier
appointment, shall be at least equal, if possible, and, if not, as
nearly as possible, to two-thirds of the minimum number of such teachers
expected to be absent on leave at any one time. Such positions shall
constitute a pool from which the board shall assign teachers to replace
the teachers who are absent on leave. Appointments to such positions of
replacement teachers shall be made from the appropriate eligible lists
for the positions for which such replacement teachers will be required
as determined by the board. Such positions of replacement teachers shall
be in all respects permanent positions in the school system and persons
duly appointed by the board to such positions shall be entitled to the
rights of tenure and retirement accruing to persons serving in other
permanent teaching positions, except that no replacement teacher shall
be entitled to the special limitation of the probationary period to one
year provided for certain teachers by subdivision one of this section.
Upon acceptance of appointment as replacement teacher, the name of each
such appointee shall be placed on a preferred eligible list as a
candidate for appointment to any permanent teaching position for which
he holds a valid license and such candidates shall be entitled to
appointment from such preferred eligible list in order of their
placement on such list. At any time when the total number of positions
of replacement teacher in such pool exceeds the total number of teachers
who will be absent on leave for the ensuing term of school, the board
may abolish positions in such pool which are in excess of the number of
teachers to be absent on leave as aforesaid, or may use replacement
teachers in such pool instead of substitute teachers to replace teachers
who are absent for shorter periods than one term. Whenever a particular
replacement teacher cannot be used to replace any teacher who is absent
on leave for a full term, he may similarly be used to replace teachers
who are absent for shorter periods. Nothing herein contained shall be
construed as preventing the appointment of regular substitute teachers
to replace teachers absent on leave when no persons holding positions
created pursuant to this subdivision are available for such replacement.
17. In the city school district of the city of Buffalo, the board of
education shall, within sixty days of the effective date of this
subdivision and annually prior to August first of each year thereafter,
ascertain the number of appointments which will be required for the
duration of not less than a term of the ensuing school year by reason of
leaves of absence granted to members of the teaching staff serving on
tenure. The board shall thereupon establish and make appointments to
positions of replacement teachers in a number which, including any such
teachers already serving as a result of earlier appointment, shall be
equal, if possible, or as nearly as possible, to two-thirds of the
minimum number of such teachers expected to be absent on leave at any
one time. Such positions shall constitute a pool from which the board
shall assign teachers to replace the teachers who are absent on leave.
Such positions of replacement teachers shall be in all respects
permanent positions in the school system and persons duly appointed by
the board to such positions shall be entitled to the rights of tenure
and retirement accruing to persons serving in other permanent teaching
positions, except that no replacement teacher shall be entitled to the
special limitation of the probationary period to one year provided for
certain teachers by subdivision one of this section. Upon acceptance of
appointment as replacement teacher, the name of each such appointee
shall be placed on a preferred eligible list as a candidate for
appointment to any permanent teaching position for which he or she holds
a valid license and such candidates shall be entitled to appointment
from such preferred eligible list in order of their placement on such
list. At any time when the total number of positions of replacement
teacher in such pool exceeds the total number of teachers who will be
absent on leave for the ensuing term of school, the board may abolish
positions in such pool which are in excess of the number of teachers to
be absent on leave as aforesaid, or may use replacement teachers in such
pool instead of substitute teachers to replace teachers who are absent
for shorter periods than one term. Whenever a particular replacement
teacher cannot be used to replace any teacher who is absent on leave for
a full term, he or she may similarly be used to replace teachers who are
absent for shorter periods. Nothing herein contained shall be construed
as preventing the appointment of regular substitute teachers to replace
teachers absent on leave when no persons holding positions created
pursuant to this subdivision are available for such replacement.
