257.48 ADVISORY COUNCIL.
At the written request of one or more boards of school districts,
in an area education agency, the area education agency board shall
establish one or more gifted and talented children advisory councils
and shall appoint members for four- year staggered terms. The terms
of office of advisory council members shall commence on July 1 of
each year. An advisory council shall consist of seven members
including teachers, parents, school administrators, and other persons
interested in education in the area. Except as otherwise provided in
this section, members shall be eligible electors residing in the
merged area. Members shall serve without compensation but shall be
reimbursed for actual and necessary expenses and mileage incurred in
the performance of their duties from funds available to the area
education agency.
If an area education agency has a weighted enrollment of more than
thirty-five thousand, the board may appoint additional advisory
councils for each thirty-five thousand weighted enrollment or
fraction of thirty-five thousand. If more than one advisory council
is appointed by the board, the board shall divide the merged area
along school district boundary lines for jurisdiction of the advisory
councils, and membership of these advisory councils shall be
appointed from the designated portion of the merged area. Section History: Recent Form
