1. There is hereby created the Nevada State Teacher and Education Support Professional

Recruitment and Retention Advisory Task Force consisting of the following 20 members: (a) One licensed teacher or education support professional employed by each school

district located in a county whose population is less than 100,000, appointed by the

Joint Interim Standing Committee on Education; (b) Two licensed teachers or education support professionals employed by each school

district located in a county whose population is 100,000 or more but less than 700,000,

appointed by the Joint Interim Standing Committee on Education; and (c) Three licensed teachers or education support professionals employed by each school

district located in a county whose population is 700,000 or more, appointed by the

Joint Interim Standing Committee on Education. To the extent practicable, the Joint Interim Standing Committee shall appoint 10 licensed

teachers and 10 education support professionals to the Task Force. 2. After the initial terms, each member of the Task Force serves a term of 2 years

and may be reappointed to one additional 2-year term following his or her initial

term. If any member of the Task Force ceases to be qualified for the position to which

he or she was appointed, the position shall be deemed vacant and the Joint Interim

Standing Committee on Education shall appoint a replacement for the remainder of the

unexpired term. A vacancy must be filled in the same manner as the original appointment. 3. The Task Force shall, at its first meeting and each odd-numbered year thereafter,

elect a Chair from among its members. 4. The Task Force shall meet at least quarterly and may meet at other times upon the

call of the Chair or a majority of the members of the Task Force. In even-numbered years, the Task Force shall have three meetings before the final

meeting of the Joint Interim Standing Committee on Education. In even-numbered years, the fourth meeting of the Task Force must be a presentation

to the Joint Interim Standing Committee on Education of the findings and recommendations

of the Task Force made pursuant to NRS 391.496 . 5. Ten members of the Task Force constitute a quorum, and a quorum may exercise all

the power and authority conferred on the Task Force. 6. Members of the Task Force serve without compensation, except that for each day

or portion of a day during which a member of the Task Force attends a meeting of the

Task Force or is otherwise engaged in the business of the Task Force, the member is

entitled to receive the per diem allowance and travel expenses provided for state

officers and employees generally. 7. Each member of the Task Force who is an officer or employee of the State or a local

government must be relieved from his or her duties without loss of his or her regular

compensation so that the member may prepare for and attend meetings of the Task Force

and perform any work necessary to carry out the duties of the Task Force in the most

timely manner practicable. A state agency or local government shall not require an officer or employee who

is a member of the Task Force to make up the time the member is absent from work to

carry out his or her duties as a member, and shall not require the member to take

annual vacation or compensatory time for the absence. 8. The Department shall provide administrative support to the Task Force.
