a. State Board Rules and Title 16 RAB information

1. Regional board – refers to a board that represents all high schools in a region and is responsible for oversight of career and technical education in the region. The regional board can be a regional advisory board or a regional governance board.

2. Regional Advisory Board When a technical center is governed by a high school board, it shall establish a regional advisory board.

When the state board designates a service region for two or more comprehensive high schools, the boards of the high schools shall establish a joint regional advisory board. A regional advisory board shall include the membership required under 16 V.S.A. § 1542. The regional advisory board shall meet at least four times during the school year. The purposes of the meetings are to review technical education programs and services and make written recommendations to the board/s operating technical education programs concerning:

ii. Title 16 § 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.
