(a) A district may, if it so votes at its annual meeting on the first Tuesday in March, fix a different date for holding its annual meetings, provided such date is not earlier than March 15 nor later than June 30. A notice of the proposed change shall be inserted in the warning of the annual meeting upon the written request of five percent of the voters of the district. Special meetings shall be warned on the application of five percent of the voters of the district.

(b) Meetings shall be warned by the clerk or, in case of his inability to act, by the prudential committee, by posting a notice thereof, specifying the time, place and business of the meeting, in two public places in the district, at least seven days before the time therein specified, and warnings shall be recorded before being posted.

(c) When a person whose duty it is to warn a school meeting neglects to do so for ten days, after application made as hereinbefore provided, he shall forfeit to the district $20.00 for each ten days' neglect, to be recovered in an action on this statute. (Amended 1975, No. 161 (Adj. Sess.).)
