§ 20-28-10-6 — Full-time defense service

Indiana § 20-28-10-6

• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Title 20: EDUCATION
• Art. 28: SCHOOL TEACHERS
• Ch. 10: Conditions of Employment

Text

(a) This section and sections 7 through 11 of
this chapter apply to a teacher who through:
(1) volunteering; or
(2) statutory selection;
enters defense service on a full-time basis.
(b) Because the United States Congress has decreed that it is
imperative to increase and train United States armed forces personnel,
this section and sections 7 through 11 of this chapter:
(1) provide protection for teachers who have been called to leave
their positions to defend the nation due to the necessity of war or
a state of emergency;
(2) preserve the status and contract rights under the laws to any
teacher who enters the defense service; and
(3) place those teachers in a position that the defense service does
not operate as an interruption of teaching service because the
contract rights that each teacher had when entering the defense
service are preserved during that service the same as if the teacher
had not entered the service.
