§ 2005. Special meeting to transact business of annual meeting.
Whenever the time for holding the annual meeting in a school district
shall pass without such meeting being held, a special meeting, to be
held on the date specified for a school budget revote pursuant to
subdivision three of section two thousand seven of this part, shall
thereafter be called by the trustees or by the clerk of such district
for the purpose of transacting the business of the annual meeting; and
if no such meeting be called by the trustees or the clerk within ten
days after such time shall have passed, the district superintendent of
the supervisory district in which said school district is situated or
the commissioner of education may order any inhabitant of such district
to give notice of such meeting in the manner provided in section two
thousand one of this part, and the officers of the district shall make
to such meeting the reports required to be made at the annual meeting,
subject to the same penalty in case of neglect; and the officers elected
at such meeting shall hold their respective offices only until the next
annual meeting and until their successors are elected and shall have
qualified. Notice of such annual meeting shall comply with the
requirements of section two thousand three or section two thousand four
of this part by publishing such notices once in each week within the two
weeks next preceding such special meeting, the first publication to be
at least fourteen days before such meeting and any required posting to
be fourteen days before the time of such meeting. If the qualified
voters at such special district meeting defeat the school district
budget, the trustees or board of education shall adopt a contingency
budget pursuant to section two thousand twenty-three of this part.
Notwithstanding any other provision in law, the trustees or board of
education following the adoption of a contingency budget may call a
special district meeting for a second vote on the proposed budget
pursuant to the requirements of subdivision three of section two
thousand seven or subdivision three of section two thousand six of this
chapter.
