§ 401. Sites; designation and change. 1. The designation of a site by

any school district meeting shall be by written resolution containing a

voting at said meeting, to be ascertained by taking and recording the

ayes and noes, or by ballot.

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.

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.
