    SECTION 2. IC 20-6.1-4-8 IS AMENDED TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2003]: Sec. 8. The Supplemental Service Teacher's Contract. (a) As used in this section, "teacher" includes an individual who:

        (2) provides instruction in a joint summer school program under IC 20-10.1-7-12.5.
    (b)
The supplemental service teacher's contract shall be used when a teacher provides professional service in evening school or summer school employment, except when a teacher or other person is employed to supervise or conduct noncredit courses or activities.
     (c) If a teacher serves more than one hundred twenty (120) days on a supplemental service teacher's contract in any school year, then sections 1, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, and 15 of this chapter and
