of the school directors of the proposed school corporation have been
determined as provided in this chapter, the area education agency
administrator with whom the petition is filed shall give written
notice of the election to the county commissioner of elections of the
county in the proposed school corporation which has the greatest

reorganization, and in addition, if more than one county is involved,
by one publication in a legal newspaper in each county other than
that of the first publication. The publication shall be not less
than four nor more than twenty days prior to the election. If the
decision published pursuant to section 275.15 or 275.16 includes a
description of the proposed school corporation and a description of
the director districts, if any, the notice for election and the
ballot do not need to include these descriptions. Notice for an
election shall not be published until the expiration of time for
