vocational school district shall be vested in the joint
vocational
school district board of education. Where a joint
vocational
school district is composed only of two or more local
school

participating
districts so choose, the educational
service center governing
board
of the county in which the joint vocational school district
is
located shall serve as the joint vocational school district
board
of education. Where a joint vocational school district is
composed of local school districts of more than one county, or of
any combination of city, local, or exempted village
school
districts or educational service centers, unless administration by
the
educational service center governing board has been chosen by
all the
participating districts in
one county pursuant to this
section, the board of education of
the joint vocational school
district shall be composed of one or
more persons who are members
of the boards of education from each
of the city or exempted
village school districts or
members of the educational service
centers' governing boards
affected to be appointed by the boards
of education or governing boards of
such
school districts and
educational service centers. In such joint vocational
school
districts the
number and terms of members of the joint vocational
school
district board of education and the allocation of a given
number
of members to each of the city and exempted village
districts and educational service centers shall be determined in
the plan for
such district,
provided that each such joint
vocational school district board of
education shall be composed of
an odd number of members. (B) Notwithstanding division (A) of this section, a
governing
board of an educational service center that has members
of
its
governing board serving on a
joint vocational school
district board of education may make a
request to the joint
vocational district board that the joint
vocational school
district plan be revised to provide for one or
more members of
boards of education of local school districts
that are within the
territory of the educational
service district and within the joint
vocational school district to serve in the place of or in
addition
to its educational service center governing board members. If
agreement
is obtained among a majority of the boards of education
and governing boards
that have
a member serving on the joint
vocational school district board of
education and among a majority
of the local school district
boards of education included in the
district and located within
the territory of the educational
service center
whose board requests the substitution
or addition,
the state board of education may revise the joint
vocational
school district plan to conform with such agreement. (C) If the board of education of any school district
or
educational service center governing board included within a joint
vocational district that has had its
board or governing board
membership revised under division (B) of this section
requests the
joint vocational school district board to submit to
the state
board of education a revised plan under which one or
more joint
vocational board members chosen in accordance with a
plan revised
under such division would again be chosen in the
manner prescribed
by division (A) of this section, the joint
vocational board shall
submit the revised plan to the state board
of education, provided

boards of education
represented on the joint vocational board, a
majority of the local
school district boards included within the
joint vocational

governing board
affected by such plan. The state board of education may revise
the joint vocational school district plan to conform with the
revised plan. (D) The vocational schools in such joint vocational school

and shall be subject to all the provisions of law that apply to a
city school district, except such provisions in this chapter and
