1. Any unobligated cash balance not exceeding ten thousand dollars must be held in a separate fund by the auditor of the county having the greatest share of the dissolved school district's land. The county auditor shall hold the fund for one year after the effective date of the dissolution. During that year, the county auditor shall accept assets and pay unresolved debts attributable to the dissolved school district. 2. After one year, the county auditor shall distribute the remaining cash balance as follows: a. If the dissolving school district did not have sufficient funds for the reimbursement account set up under section 15.1 -12-28.1, then as much of the remaining cash balance as would be necessary to pay the estimated obligation to job service North Dakota must be deposited in the reimbursement account. Unless otherwise directed by the order of dissolution, any remaining cash balance must be distributed to the receiving school districts in the same percentage as the taxable valuation received at the time of the attachment order. b. If the reimbursement account in section 15.1 -12-28.1 was fully funded by the dissolving school district, the county auditor shall distribute the remaining cash balance among the school districts to which the real property of the dissolved district was attached. Unless otherwise directed by the order of dissolution, the distribution to each shall be the same percentage as the taxable valuation at the time of the attachment order.
