Example

A small town wants to add a nearby farm to its school district so the farm kids can go to the town's schools.

The town board listens to the farmer if they don't want to join. If most of the board (two-thirds) thinks the farm will benefit from joining, they can add the farm to the school district and decide where the new borders will be.
