Special meetings shall be warned on the application of five percent of the voters of the district.

(b) Meetings shall be warned by the clerk or, in case of his or her inability to act, by the prudential committee, by posting a notice, specifying the time, place, and business of the meeting, in two public places in the district, at least seven days before the time therein specified, and warnings shall be recorded before being posted.

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