What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Tennessee

I am a teacher with 20 plus years experience. I was working in North Carolina as a professional development trainer, providing training for teachers in class management and instructional strategies. I was recruited to a Tennessee school system classroom position. I am not being advised that the current position may not be available to me next year due to the difference in my instructional style and that of the local model. I have assured my supervisor I am willing to adopt local strategies but that such major adjustments take time. My question is, due I have legal recourse against this system as I was recruited here from gainful ongoing employment?

Do you have a contract that guarantees you employment for a specified time period?

If so, does it list specifically what you can and cannot be termed for?

If so, is this listed?

Tenure Track

Tenure track positions only offer automatic renewal after three years. My question is as I was actively recruited from a tenured position do I have legal recourse?

If you insist on an answer to that question without answering mine, the answer is no, you do not have legal recourse. Having been recruited from a tenured position does NOT make it illegal to terminate your employment.

Now, if you want more than a general answer and one that is specific to your situation, you will stop harping on "yes or no - do I have legal recourse" and answer my questions.

Nor is yours.

Since I have answered your question to the best of my ability based on the limited facts you've presented, and since you apparently are not willing to provide any additional facts which might be relevant to the situation, as far as I am concerned my answer stands. You can pay a lawyer to answer any additional questions.

ignore list

Now that negative nellies cbg and ecmst12 are on the ignore list, does anyone aware of any proactive or positive suggestions. Also, I'm especially interested in your thoughts if you have any experience with educational contract law. An if you do, you will also be aware teachers are not provided with individual copies of blanket contract and thus do not have access to all the specifics of such.
Thank you, and God Bless.

Well, as a licensed teacher who has worked on contract negotiations, my answer is...oh, wait a minute, you were extremely rude to two of the most knowledgeable volunteers in contract law. I guess you'll need to hire an attorney to find out the answer you could have gotten for free here.

Hmmm.... I have a copy of MY contract, and yes, I'm a teacher too.

I'm wondering if your attitude might have something to do with that difference in "instructional styles" your principal mentioned.
