SEc. 18. Any school employee who has a school service record of
fifteen years or more, and who suffers such physical or mental dis-
ability as to be permanently unable to perform school service may at
once be granted a disability annuity, the amount of which shall be the
actuarial value of the school annuity of that individual, at the attained
age. In such cases the board is authorized to provide for medical exam-
inations and to secure other evidence at the expense of the retirement
fund. Such medical examinations shall be repeated at least once in
every five years, and may be ordered at any time until the annuitant
attains age sixty-five. In case any person receiving a disability annuity
shall recover, or if he shall refuse to be examined, then the disability
annuity shall cease. But employment outside of school service at part
time work or at full time work suited to a partly disabled person shall
not of itself be sufficient reason to cease paying such disability annuity.
In case any person receives a disability annuity and later recovers and
returns to school service, the service record of that person shall include
all school service, both before and after disability, but the retirement
annuity finally paid shall be reduced by actuarial computation in pro-
portion to the total amount of the disability annuity paid.

Sec. 14. In case an error has been made and an annuitant has been
paid more or less than he is entitled to receive, and other satisfactory
arrangements cannot be made, the board, insofar as that may be pos-
sible, shall adjust future annuity payments so as to correct the error,
in accordance with actuarial computations.

Sec. 15. After September 1, 1941, all boards and other agencies. of
the State of Kansas which issue warrants to school employees, shall
deduct 4% from the full amount of each such warrant issued to any
permanent school employee (up to an annual maximum total of $3,000
salary), and shall transmit the amounts, so deducted, to the state treas-
urer in such manner as the retirement board may direct. These deduc-
tions shall be credited to individual savings accounts.

Sec. 16. All contracts for school services made after this act goes
into effect, and all salaries of school employees set by statute shall be
deemed to include this provision for deductions: Provided, That in any
case where an existing contract or legal obstacle forbids a deduction, the
school employee concerned is hereby authorized to tender the amount
of the deduction to the board for credit: Provided further, This sec-
tion shall not apply to employees exempted under the provisions of
section 9 of this act.

Sec. 17. The funds resulting from such deductions shall be handled
as permanent reserves. These reserves are to be invested by the board
in school, state, municipal and federal securities approved by the State .
School Fund Commission. All interest received thereon shall be pro-
rated at least once each twelve months to the individual savings accounts.

Sec. 18. On retirement each school annuitant shall receive: (a) A
savings annuity which shall be the actuarial equivalent of his accumu-
lated contributions including interest credits at the time of retirement,
with due consideration of the refund provision act in Section 21 of this
act, and (b) a service annuity to be paid by the state. The amount of
any individual service annuity shall be determined by multiplying the
average annual salary (up to maximum of $3,000) for the last ten
