The Board shall utilize other means to ensure adequate dissemination of the description and location of the voting districts.

(c) The Board may adjust or alter the voting districts of any multi-area school once every tenth year. The Board shall utilize the same criteria and procedures described above in connection with any adjustment or alteration of any voting district.
