The adjustment and apportionment shall be made as of the date of the vote of the electors effecting the annexation, change of boundaries or creation.

2.

The adjustment and apportionment of property and indebtedness shall be made by the school boards of the several districts concerned, before or during the first school year after the boundaries are changed.
