N.Y. Education Law § 2005: Special meeting to transact business of annual meeting

§ 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.
