Sec. 7-8. Limitation on successive petitions. No territory, nor any part thereof,
which is involved in any proceeding
to change the boundaries of a school district by detachment or dissolution from such school district of such territory, and which, after a hearing on the merits of the petition or referendum vote, is not so
detached or dissolved, shall be again involved in proceedings to change the
boundaries of such school district
for at least 2 years after final
determination of such first proceeding, unless during that 2-year period a
petition filed is substantially different than any other previously filed
petition during the previous 2 years or if a school district involved is
identified as a priority district under Section 2-3.25d-5 of this Code, is placed on the financial
