257.48 - ADVISORY COUNCIL.

        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.
