A. All potential charter school employees shall be notified of the specific benefits they will be offered, as specified in the charter operator's charter. B. Charter school employees shall be eligible for participation in any or all benefits which would otherwise accrue to employees in any other elementary or secondary school including, but not limited to, the school employees' and teachers' retirement systems, subject to the school's approved charter, which must provide for such participation. C. With regard to participation in the public retirement systems: 1. the compensation that the teacher or school employee would have received if employed by the local public school system shall be used to determine employee and employer contribution levels of the respective retirement systems; 2. any compensation paid to a teacher or school employee which exceeds the salary that would have been received if employed by the local school system shall not be deemed as compensation solely for the purpose of the calculation of future retirement benefits. D. As employees of the local school board holding the charter, the employees in Type 4 charter schools shall be entitled to the benefits, and be subject to conditions of employment, as prescribed by the local school board within the charter.
