The sufficiency of the petition shall be determined by the board of education, and upon the filing of such petition and passage of a resolution as provided above, the clerk of the board shall certify to the state school retirement board that such petition has been presented and such resolution has been adopted. The board of education shall contribute to the state school retirement system from the retirement fund of the board of education the amounts required by subsection (d) of K.S.A. 72-5501 to enable the members of its retirement system to become eligible for membership in the state school retirement system: Provided, That in the event any member of the retirement system of the board of education who becomes a member of the state school retirement system shall be retired before continuing in service under said state school retirement system for a year, and is thereby ineligible to receive any annuity from the state school retirement system, the amount contributed by the board of education to the state school retirement fund for the benefit of such member shall be repaid to the board of education and placed in its supplemental retirement fund. School employees of the board of education who are not members of its retirement system may, if otherwise eligible, elect to become members of the state school retirement system, and shall be entitled to service credit in the state school retirement system in accordance with the provisions thereof.
