Within thirty days 28 of the board’s public notice, a petition may be filed with the 29 department of education requesting that a feasibility study be 30 completed. The petition shall be signed by twenty percent of 31 the eligible electors in the district.

The request shall 17 be based upon one of the following: 18 1. (1) That the agreement will not meet the educational 19 program needs of the pupil. 20 2. (2) That adequate consideration was not given to 21 geographical factors. 22 b. The board shall allow or disallow the request prior to 23 the signing of the agreement, or the request shall be deemed 24 granted.
