§ 706n. Amendments to agreements reached by establishment vote, organization meeting, or final report

(a) Any specific condition or agreement adopted by the member districts pursuant to section 706f of this chapter at the vote held to establish the union, or any amendment subsequently adopted, may be amended only at a special or annual union district meeting; provided that the prior approval of the state board of education shall be secured if the proposed amendment concerns reducing the number of grades that the union is to operate. The warning for the meeting shall contain each proposed amendment as a separate article. The vote on each proposed amendment shall be by Australian ballot. Ballots shall be counted in each member district, and the clerks of each member district shall transmit the results of the vote in that district to the union school district clerk. Results shall be reported to the public by member district; however, no amendment is effective unless approved by a majority of those voting.

(b) Any decision at the organization meeting may be amended by a majority of those present and voting at a union district meeting duly warned for that purpose.

(c) Any provision of the final report which was not contained in a separate article in the warning required pursuant to section 706f of this chapter for the vote to form the union may be amended by a simple majority vote of the union board of school directors, or by any other majority of the board as is specified for a particular matter in the report.
