(2) In the first year following the transfer, the joint vocational school district that gains territory due to the transfer shall pay the joint vocational school district that lost territory due to the transfer an amount equal to one hundred per cent of the revenue collected from taxes levied under sections3311.21and5705.21of the Revised Code by the joint vocational school district that gains territory for the transferred portion of the district.
