If the voters of a school district voting upon a school district reorganization plan failed to approve the plan, the school board of the district may call a special election within one year from the date of the previous election for the purpose of reconsidering the plan. The school board shall call the election if a petition signed by twenty percent of the voters residing within the district is presented to the business manager of the district requesting reconsideration of the plan. The results of this election shall be transmitted to the secretary of the Department of Education as provided in § 13-6-45 and he shall proceed as provided by law. No election may be called under this section if a different plan has been approved pursuant to § 13-6-17.
