My question is, based on seniority and tenure in NJ, if the district only requires one comp.lit. teacher, who would be chosen: me with 12yrs. of teaching the subject (and only 12 total in the district), or my colleage with less years teaching the subject but more years over me in the district)?

bumping rights The person who has taught in the district longer (no matter what position) has bumping rights. However, if that person is Phys. Ed certified, he or she could bump a PE teacher instead of you (more likely if there are non-tenured PE teachers). Is your K-8 cert. only for Comp. Lit or Elementary? If it's elementary, you could bump any elementary teach...See More
