  of  cooperative  educational  services  upon  the  recommendation of the
  district superintendent of schools for a probationary period of  not  to
  exceed three years; provided, however, that in the case of a teacher who
  has  been appointed on tenure in a school district within the state, the
  board of cooperative educational services where currently  employed,  or
  another  board  of  cooperative  educational  services,  and who was not
  dismissed from such district or board as a  result  of  charges  brought
  pursuant  to  subdivision one of section three thousand twenty-a of this
  chapter, the probationary period shall not exceed two years. Services of
  a person so appointed to any such positions may be discontinued  at  any

  recommending for appointment on  tenure  persons  who  have  been  found
  competent,  efficient  and  satisfactory, consistent with any applicable
  rules of the board of regents adopted pursuant to section three thousand
  twelve-b of this article.  Such  persons  shall  hold  their  respective
  positions  during  good behavior and competent and efficient service and
  shall not be removed except for any of the  following  causes,  after  a
  hearing, as provided by section three thousand twenty-a of such law: (a)
  Insubordination,  immoral character or conduct unbecoming a teacher; (b)
