(A) A group of two or more school districts of the State, without regard to county lines, may join to create career and technology school boards (board) to construct, operate, govern, supervise, manage, and control career and technology schools. However, the provisions of this section are not applicable to a school district with a career and technology center serving only those students residing within its geographical limits. Each board consists of six appointed members, to be apportioned among the districts joining in the creation of the board as the districts may agree. Members must be selected by the school boards of trustees from the members of their respective district school boards of trustees. The terms of the members of the board must be concurrent with their terms on the district school board of trustees. If vacancies occur or members of the boards cease to be members of their respective boards of trustees, the vacancies must be filled by members from the same school board of trustees of which the withdrawing member was a member, selected by the trustees of that district or county.
(B) The superintendent of each participating district shall serve as an ex officio nonvoting member of the board. The superintendents must be administrative members of the board and jointly shall nominate staff and assume such responsibilities and perform duties as may be prescribed by law or by regulations of the State Board of Education or as prescribed by the career and technology school board.
(C) The respective boards of trustees of participating districts shall select their members and the boards shall convene and organize by electing one member as chairman and one as vice chairman. The terms of chairman and vice chairman are for one year. The boards shall have other officers and prescribe terms as considered necessary.
(D) The members of the boards must be paid compensation as the boards may provide by resolution; provided, that the compensation must not exceed fifty dollars for each meeting and mileage at a rate of fourteen cents a mile.
