§ 76116 Implementation Referendum Certification

Key Takeaways

  • •If most people don't vote 'yes' on a rule, the boss in charge says the rule doesn't start.
  • •The boss can ask people to vote again, but only after waiting at least one year.
  • •The rule only starts if enough people vote 'yes' the next time.

Example

Imagine your school wants to start a new rule that everyone must wear hats on Fridays.

If most kids and parents vote 'no' to the hat rule, the principal says the rule won’t happen. The principal can ask everyone to vote again, but only after waiting a year. If enough people vote 'yes' the next time, then the hat rule starts.
