(2) Beginning with the 1990-1991 school year and thereafter, the probationary term for a vocational-technical school employee required by the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to hold a valid vocational-technical certificate entitling the holder to teach in the vocational area of the actual teaching assignment shall be for not less than three years and shall terminate after three years only upon a showing that the employee holds the vocational-technical certificate required by the board.

(3) All employees having served for more than three consecutive years as of August 1, 1977, are declared to be regular and permanent employees.
