AN ACT
To repeal section 162.041, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof one new section relating to apportionment of property between school districts.
Section A. Section 162.041, RSMo, is repealed and one new section enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as section 162.041, to read as follows:
162.041. 1. If the school boards of the several districts cannot agree upon an adjustment and apportionment of property and indebtedness as provided in section 162.031, the board of either district may appeal to the state board of education, which shall appoint three persons as a board of arbitration to make an adjustment and apportionment of property and indebtedness in accordance with section 162.031. Each member of the board of arbitration shall be a current or retired circuit judge or associate circuit judge from a circuit other than the one in which the dispute has arisen. The board of arbitration may hold hearings after giving the affected districts reasonable notice thereof before making its award. Each member of the board of arbitration shall be paid fifty dollars per day by the district instituting the appeal.
2. Any sum awarded by agreement of the school boards or by decision of a board of arbitration to any school district shall
be a legal and valid claim in its favor and against the school district charged therewith. The amount of indebtedness, if any,
apportioned to any school district shall be a legal and valid obligation.
