certified by the State Board of Education and employed by a local or regional board of
education who leaves such employment for the purpose of entering the armed forces of
the United States, as defined in section 27-103, shall be reemployed by the board of
education as hereinafter provided, provided such employee makes application for return
to such employment within ninety days after receiving a certificate of honorable separation from the armed forces. The board of education shall employ such applicant in his
or her former position and duties if such employment is available; and if not, shall
employ such applicant in an equivalent position, if available; and if not, shall offer such
applicant employment in any available position for which such applicant is qualified.
Any employee returning to the employ of the board of education as herein provided
shall be credited with the period of such service in said armed forces to the same extent
as though it had been a part of the term of employment by such board of education. This
section shall not apply to any such employee who, because of voluntary reenlistment,
has been absent from the employ of such board of education for a period of more than
three years in addition to war service as defined in said section 27-103 or compulsory
service and the ninety-day period as hereinbefore provided.
