instruction on behalf of the district, the salaries of teachers who provide
instruction on behalf of the district and the reimbursement of other entities
for the facilities used by the district. THIS SECTION DOES NOT RESTRICT A
SCHOOL DISTRICT OFFERING ANY career and technical education COURSE THAT DOES
NOT QUALIFY FOR FUNDING AS A JOINT DISTRICT COURSE OR PROGRAM. Unless the governing boards of the
school districts participating in the formation of the joint district vote to
implement an alternative election system as provided in subsection B of this
section, the joint board shall consist of five members elected from five single
member districts formed within the joint district. The single member district
election system shall be submitted as part of the plan for the joint district
pursuant to section 15‑392 and shall be established in the plan as
follows:
1. The
governing boards of the school districts participating in the formation of the
joint district shall define the boundaries of the single member districts so
that the single member districts are as nearly equal in population as is
practicable, except that if the joint district lies in part in each of two or
more counties, at least one single member district may be entirely within each
of the counties comprising the joint district if this district design is
consistent with the obligation to equalize the population among single member
districts.
2. The
boundaries of each single member district shall follow election precinct
boundary lines, as far as practicable, in order to avoid further segmentation
of the precincts.
3. A
person who is a registered voter of this state and who is a resident of the
single member district is eligible for election to the office of joint board
member from the single member district. The terms of office of the members of

course is offered to all eligible students in each member district of the joint
technical education district and enrolls students from multiple high schools.
3. The
joint technical education district program in which the course is included
addresses a specific industry need and has been developed in cooperation with
that industry, or the leased facility is a state or federal asset that would
otherwise be unused or underutilized.
4. The
lease is established at fair market value if the lease is executed for a
facility located on the site of a member district and was approved by the joint
committee on capital review, except that a lease that was executed or renewed
before December 31, 2012 is not subject to approval by the joint committee on
capital review.
R. A
student who is enrolled in an accommodation school as defined in section 15‑101
may be treated as a student of the school district in which the student
physically resides for the purposes of enrollment in a joint technical
education district and shall be included in the calculation of average daily
membership for either the joint technical education district or the
accommodation school, or both.
S. Notwithstanding
any other law, the student count for a joint technical education district shall
be equivalent to the joint technical education district's average daily
membership.
T. A
school district or charter school may not prohibit or discourage students who
are enrolled in that school district or charter school from attending courses
offered by a joint technical education district, including requiring students
to generate a full 1.0 average daily membership or to enroll in more courses
than are needed to graduate before enrolling in and attending programs or
courses offered by a joint district. If the joint board
determines that the school district or charter school is in violation of this
subsection, the joint board may withhold up to ten percent of the total state
aid apportionment that is otherwise due the school district or charter school
from the joint district. When the joint board determines that the school
district or charter school is in compliance with this subsection, the joint
board shall restore the amount of state aid withheld to the school district or
charter school, except that the joint board may retain up to five percent of
these monies as a penalty against the school district or charter school.
U. The
governing board of the joint technical education district may contract with any
charter school that is located within the boundaries of the joint technical
education district to allow that charter school to offer career and technical
education courses or programs as a satellite campus.
V. Beginning
in 2020 and every five years thereafter, the career and technical education
division of the department of education shall review joint technical education
district programs and joint technical education courses to ensure compliance,
quality and eligibility. Any program or course deemed to not meet the
requirements set forth by law shall not be funded for the preceding current school year and shall be removed
from the approved program and course list for the purposes of funding. The career and
technical education division may establish a staggered schedule for reviewing
each joint technical education district.
