Thanks. Can I say,

Selected prefects will conduct and are in charge of the reading activities during recess every day.

It's probably okay, but I'd recommend against it. In the earlier example, the "will" was common to both verb forms, so it was a little smoother, i.e., will conduct, and will be. This one sounds a bit awkward.

This is OK if you are describing a general situation.

I agree. It's much better without the "will." (selected prefects will conduct and are in charge) But, as you say, the meaning changes.
