Errors when script calls a script

We have a remote shell script that calls a script to run jobs. How do I get the calling script to error when the called script errors?

assuming the '/path2calledScript' returns the proper stutus upon its exit.

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

echo 'this is a calling script'

/path2calledScript

calledScriptStatus="${?}"

if [ "${calledScriptStatus}" -ne 0 ]; then
   exit "${calledScriptStatus}"
fi;
.....
