(a) Said bonds shall be designated as refunding bonds of the old school district which contracted the original indebtedness in the first instance. The refunding bonds shall be payable from the same funds which are to be derived from the same source as would have been used to pay the original bonds of the old school district if no refunding thereof had ever occurred.

(6) Any school district from which land has been detached and included within any other school district, by reorganization or any other lawful means, and which school district has retained its lawful corporate existence subsequent to the detachment of such land from said school district shall be specifically exempted from the requirements and provisions of subsection (5) of this section, and the board of education of said school district from which land has been detached may refund its bonds to which such detached land is subject with or without concurrence or action by the board of education of the school district within which said detached land is then included.
