     1. If a community college located within a local school district provides career and technical instruction for a specific job for which the local school district also provides an instructional program, the superintendent of that school district shall establish a joint technical skills committee for each such program of career and technical education to review and determine annually the tasks, duties and competency levels to be taught. The committee shall assist the school district and be available to assist the community college upon request.

     2. The superintendent of each local school district which is located in a county:

     (a) Whose population is 35,000 or more; and

     (b) In which a campus of the community college is located,

Ê may establish a career and technical education council to assist the school district and be available to assist, upon request, the community college. To the extent possible, the superintendent shall draw the membership from among the members of an advisory technical skills committee formed pursuant to NRS 388.385. Educators may serve on the council in an advisory, nonvoting capacity only. The council shall render advice on questions of policy regarding the programs of career and technical education where employment demands are being met and shall make recommendations regarding the expansion, improvement and modernization of all of the programs. The council shall also recommend methods to establish a cooperative mechanism for local businesses and industries to share with the school district the instruction, facilities and equipment necessary for the programs and to participate in the resulting efforts needed to secure employment for the pupils who complete the programs.
