Provides same military service credit for compensation purposes to noncertificated employees of school districts that is provided to certificated employees under current law.
This bill extends military service credit for school district compensation purposes to non-teaching employees hired after its effective date. Similar to teaching staff, eligible non-certificated employees (e.g., administrative or support staff) who served in active military duty since 1940 will receive equivalent employment credit for pay adjustments, but no more than four increments. It applies only to new hires and does not alter existing benefit limits for teaching staff under current law.
