A community wants to change the boundaries of a school district. Instead of filing a formal resolution, they gather signatures from voters in that area.

If the signatures equal at least 10% of all the votes that were cast in the last election for that area, they can hand the petition to the board of supervisors of the county that has the most voters in the proposed district.
