A school in Saddletown would get rejected. A school in every community might pass, but probably gets rejected as the number of parents with school-aged kids as a percentage of the population likely doesn't get it done. A school, fire station, police department and library in every community might pass. Basically, the more things you bundle together, the easier it becomes to get things approved. (This, incidentally, is how the US Federal Government works, as I understand it.) But then, deciding what gets included and excluded from the bundle becomes the key decision anyways, so what's the point of the plebiscite?
