Is it normal for districts to fight giving teachers tenure these days? I keep getting briefly "let go" every two or three years, only to be rehired a few weeks later. I'm always told it's because of budget review or restructuring. However, this means that my tenure clock resets every time I'm "hired"

Sadly, yes, it’s happening more often, especially in underfunded districts. I’ve seen teachers treated like temps even after years of service. I have been trying to keep my options open for other things just in case. Do you have a plan B yet?

Ugh! My old district used to do this all of the time! It's why I finally had to quit.

I hate when districts do this. They love this game.

Sounds like a union issue. “Let go” as in terminated or as in laid off with rights to recall? If recalled and without any actual time off, then you were not officially terminated or rehired and the tenure clock should have never stopped. Sound hinkey to me.

Just taking the opportunity to get current. Sober 3 years and 10 months. This past couple weeks have been stressful and my mind slipped into fantasizing about my drug of choice. Last week I flipped out at some of my wife's family. I did an amends and I think time will heal this one. It's all up to HP. Although I have neglected my morning practice this week, I'm practicing self compassion with positive self talk.
