In the event that an existing school district is divided into 2 or more school districts, the maximum total cost, the maximum state share and the maximum local share of the school construction program, as authorized for the existing district by any school construction bond authorization act, shall be determined and allocated among the resulting districts by the State Board of Education by taking into consideration the same factors prescribed by § 7509 of this title in determining the necessity for the school construction program in such resulting school districts. The aggregate amounts so determined by the State Board of Education to be allocated to such resulting districts shall not exceed the amount of the maximum total cost, maximum state share and maximum local share, respectively, in the pertinent school construction bond authorization act with respect to the original school district so divided. Such allocated amounts shall be in lieu of the amounts set forth in any school construction bond authorization act for the original school district, and applicable to certificates of necessity issued pursuant to the school construction bond authorization act and this chapter.
