pursuant to Section 74430, the board shall give notice of its
intention to do so. Such notice shall specify, in a general way, the
changes which the board proposes to make and a time and place for a

the board and object to the making of the proposed change or changes
or petition that a change be made otherwise than as proposed.

74432. The notice of intention to change the boundaries of the
divisions shall be published at least once a week for two weeks
before the time appointed for the hearing in some newspaper or
newspapers published in each of the counties in which any part of the
district is situated.
At the time and place appointed for the hearing, or at the time
and place to which the hearing may be adjourned, the board shall hear
all the objections and petitions which are presented to the board,
and, thereupon, the board may make such change or changes in the
boundaries of the divisions as it determines to be for the best
