(1) An intermediate school board in providing special education programs and services that were previously provided by a state agency within the intermediate school district shall, before employing any additional personnel for purposes of implementing the special education program or service, first employ a person of a state agency whose employment is discontinued because a state agency is discontinuing a special education program or service for which the person was employed.
(2) Special education personnel employed pursuant to subsection (1) shall be entitled to all the rights and benefits to which they would otherwise be entitled had they been employed by the intermediate school district originally. The persons shall be entitled to all rights under Act No. 4 of the Public Acts of the Extra Session of 1937, as amended, to which they would have been entitled if employed originally by the intermediate school board, except that they may, at the option of the controlling board, be subject to another probationary period of 1 year.
