The Board of Education recognizes that military service rendered by a classified employee in the defense of our country or in maintaining preparedness is a service benefiting all citizens.

Any classified employee who enters the Armed Forces of the United States or the auxiliaries thereof and who returns from such service with other than a dishonorable discharge, shall be reemployed by the Board under the same type of contract held at the time of entering the Armed Forces. Application for reinstatement must be made no later than thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of a semester and not more than ninety (90) days after discharge or release from the Armed Forces.

Years of absence for military service shall be counted as though work has been performed for the purposes of placement on the salary schedule. For salary purposes, the total months of duty shall be divided by twelve (12) and salary credit given for each full year of service. A partial year, eight (8) months or more, shall be counted as a year for salary purposes.
