Publication and posting shall be made at least thirty days and not more than forty days before the meeting, not counting the day of the meeting. The warning shall be recorded in the office of the clerk before being posted.

(b) Any meeting called for the purpose of considering a bond issue shall be warned in accordance with the provisions of section 1755 of Title 24.

(c) The board of directors shall have the same authority and obligation to warn or call meetings of the union school district as selectmen have to warn or call town meetings.

(d) When a person whose duty it is to warn a district meeting neglects to do so for ten days after application is made as above provided, he shall forfeit to the district $ 20.00 for each ten days' neglect, to be recovered in an action on this statute.
