Just found out that I will be “laid off” at the end of the year and will be eligible to be “rehired” for the 2024/2025 school year sometime this summer. This is the second time this has happened, I am pretty sure my school district is doing this so I can’t reach tenure but I’m not sure. Has anyone else been through this?

Lots of districts do this, especially if some jobs are being paid with grant money.

If they don't RIF you before a certain date, then you're automatically rehired, and they risk being stuck paying salaries they can't afford if a grant isn't renewed or something else causes a budget shortfall. Then they rehire teachers after they know the money will be there.

If you keep getting rehired, it can't stop you from getting tenure. For peace of mind, applying for other jobs to have a safety valve just in case might not be a bad idea.

It wouldn't affect tenure in MI if you're rehired. You'd stay on the layoff list until you're offered a job you qualify for and refuse it, even if you get another job somewhere else in the meantime, and if you come back to the district you were laid off from, you'd continue working toward tenure. Of course, tenure doesn't mean nearly as much as it once did, and it NEVER meant what people outside education thought it did. It only meant they couldn't lay you off and put a nontenured teacher in your place, and that they had to have a good reason and tell you what it was before firing you. Doesn't mean that much anymore.

There are VERY few layoffs in MI anymore, but 20-odd years ago, they were common. Usually laid-off teachers were rehired at the end of the summer and continue on as normal. They had the inconvenience of not being sure of it through the summer, but on the other hand they could collect unemployment while still collecting their summer pay from the district. Look into that, too.

Check into the tenure. As others have stated, your tenure is not based on “lay-off” status. If it were me and my district kept pulling this nonsense, I would start applying to other districts for a more secure situation.
