7-2-2727. Effect of abandonment on school and special districts. (1) All school districts and other special districts of an abandoned and abolished county shall continue as and be such school districts and special districts of the county to which such territory is attached and becomes a part. The members of the boards of trustees or directors of such school districts or other special districts shall continue to be the trustees and directors thereof until the terms of office for which they were elected or appointed shall expire. If any of such school districts shall bear the same numbers as school districts of the county to which the territory within the boundaries of such abandoned and abolished county is attached and made a part, the county superintendent shall either renumber the school districts of said abandoned and abolished county or shall give them such designation in addition to their numbers as will distinguish them from the districts in the county to which such territory is attached and made a part. If the territory of any school district shall be divided and parts attached to two or more counties, such school district shall be a joint school district of such counties.
(2) All funds of all school districts and of all other special districts of an abandoned and abolished county shall be transferred to and paid over to the county treasurer of the county to which the territory of such school district is attached and becomes a part and shall be accounted for by said county treasurer as the funds of such districts. If a joint school district is created, the state superintendent of public instruction shall designate the county treasurer to whom such funds are to be transferred and paid over. All taxes levied for all school funds and funds of other special districts of such abandoned and abolished county remaining unpaid at the time said county ceased to exist and all other money which would have accrued to such funds if said county had not been abandoned and abolished, when received by such county treasurer, shall be deposited to the credit of the proper school or special district funds.
