    First of all, this depends on which state you are in.

    Secondly, it depends on the specific type of contract the
    teacher has signed. Where I am, the scenario you've
    described is possible only if the teacher was on a
    temporary contract (as opposed to a probationary contract,
    which does lead toward permanent status aka "tenure").

    Also as you're researching this it may help you to know
    that in many places "tenure" isn't actually the correct
    term, but rather "permanent status". Slightly different
    concept although in the media the term "tenure" tends to be
    used for both; the contracts themselves (and other legal
    documents) will probably say "permanent status." It is not
    a guarantee of continued employment but rather a guarantee
    that due process must be followed prior to termination.
