It's interesting that those who are opposing the Oct 5th reconsideration vote did not publicly oppose ANwSD closing the Addison Elementary School even though the Addison voters clearly opposed its closure November of 2019, 373 opposed to 123 in favor. Or when voters had to vote on consolidation until Montpelier got what it wanted.

Please see the following for the rules that govern what we call democracy.

Requests for Reconsideration of an Article
Whether an article is voted on the floor or by Australian ballot, any voter who does not like the outcome of the vote on an article may file a petition containing signatures of five percent of the legal voters of the town with the legislative body within 30 days of the vote, asking for reconsideration of the article at a special town meeting. 17 V.S.A. § 2661. The selectboard or school board must set a special meeting to reconsider the article within 60 days of receiving the petition.
Voters can only force the reconsideration of an article by petition once within a period of one year from the first vote. However, the legislative body (selectboard or school board) can call a special meeting to reconsider any article except bonding proposals as many times as the board desires. Bond proposal articles can only be submitted to the voters twice within 12 months.
