. The governing board of a school district, except a district
having a city board of education, may, and upon a petition signed by
a majority of the electors resident in the district shall, call
meetings of the qualified electors of the district for consultation
in regard to any affairs in the district. A meeting so called shall
be competent to instruct the governing board, and the board shall, in
all cases, be bound by such instructions upon the following
subjects:
(a) The location or change of location of the schoolhouse, if the
proposal to instruct the board in regard to changing the location of
the schoolhouse is passed by a vote of two-thirds of all the electors
voting at the meeting upon the proposition.
(b) The use of the schoolhouse for other than school purposes, but
in no case shall the schoolhouse be used for purposes which
necessitate the removal of any school desks or other school
furniture.
(c) The sale and purchase of school sites.
(d) The prosecution, settlement, or compromise of any litigation
in which the district is engaged, or is likely to become engaged.
The meeting may vote money not exceeding one hundred dollars
($100) in any one year, for any of these purposes in addition to any
amount which may be raised by the sale of district school property,
and the insurance of property destroyed by fire, except that the
proceeds of the insurance of the library and apparatus shall be paid
into the library fund. All funds raised by the sale of school
property may be disposed of by direction of a district meeting.
