(3) In an annexation of a county, if all or any portion of a local school district lies within that county, no elector residing in that local school district may vote on the propositions and no part of the local school district becomes part of the community college district if both of the following are met:
(a) The local school district is not part of an intermediate school district that has at least 80% of its territory in the county to be annexed.
(b) The board of education of the local school district adopts a resolution that the school district elects to be excluded from the annexation, and files a certified copy of the resolution with the county clerk and the board of trustees within 15 days of the date the resolution and approval are filed with the county clerk under section 61(2).
