After the adoption of such resolution such transfer may be made unless a petition in opposition to the same, signed by not less than ten percent (10%) of the qualified electors of such school district, is filed with the clerk of the school district within ninety (90) days following the last publication of the resolution. In the event such a petition is filed, such transfer shall not be made unless the board of education submits the question to the voters at an election called for such purpose or at the next general election in which case the transfer may be made if a majority of those voting at such election on the proposition vote in favor thereof.
