§ 13-6-77 — Valuation by county commissioners of school property and debt--Adjustments--Joint county action.

The board of county commissioners of the county having jurisdiction over the school district shall have the power and duty to determine the value and the amount of all school owned property, cash assets, and all bonded and other indebtedness of each existing school district affected by a change in district boundaries resulting from any form of school district reorganization. The board of county commissioners of the county having jurisdiction over the school district entity created or to which territory has been annexed shall, after the change takes effect, order any equitable adjustment as deemed necessary. If the adjustment requires a transfer of school district owned property, assets, or liabilities from a school district under the jurisdiction of one county to a school district under the jurisdiction of another county, the order directing the transfer of such property and the adjustment of such assets and liabilities shall be approved by the board of county commissioners of both counties and signed by their respective chairmen.
