§ 1542. Regional advisory board
(a) Each regional advisory board shall consist of:
(1) one member from each public high school in the center’s service region, elected by
and from among the members of that high school board for a term determined by that
high school board; and
(2) the superintendent or his or her designee of each supervisory union within the center’s
service region; and
(3) one member elected for a term of three years by and from among the school board of
each sending district in the center’s service region that does not have a public high
school represented on the advisory board under subdivision (1) of this section; except
that, if there are more than three such districts in the center’s service area, the
advisory board shall select three school boards to represent the interests of all
such districts, shall rotate its selections among the districts, and shall stagger
the expiration of initial terms; and
(4) one member of the board of each independent comprehensive high school within a service
region, elected by the members of that board for a term determined by that board;
and
(5) once constituted, the regional advisory board shall elect three additional members
for terms of three years to represent the interests of employers or employees, provided
that no two terms shall expire in any year.
(b) A regional advisory board, with the consent of the State Workforce Development Board,
may delegate its responsibilities to the grantee that performs workforce development
activities in the region pursuant to 10 V.S.A. § 542. In this case, the grantee shall become the regional advisory board unless and until
the school board that operates the career technical center requests that the regional
advisory board be reconstituted pursuant to subsection (a) of this section. (Added 1983, No. 247 (Adj. Sess.), § 1; amended 1987, No. 238 (Adj. Sess.), § 5; 1993, No. 233 (Adj. Sess.), § 49e, eff.
