§ 401. Sites; designation and change. 1. The designation of a site by any school district meeting shall be by written resolution containing a description thereof by metes and bounds, and such resolution must receive the assent of a majority of the qualified voters present and voting at said meeting, to be ascertained by taking and recording the ayes and noes, or by ballot. 2. A board of education in a union free school district containing a population of five thousand or more may, without a vote of the qualified voters of said district, designate sites or additions thereto for school houses or for any other school purpose. 3. No site of a schoolhouse shall be changed unless a majority of the legal voters present and voting at a district meeting shall adopt a resolution designating a new site and describing such site by metes and bounds. Such resolution shall be adopted either by ballot or by taking and recording the ayes and noes.
