A . If in a common school district there has been a student count of less than eight pupils between the ages of six and twenty-one years for three months during the school year, the county school superintendent may at once suspend the common school district and report the suspension and reasons to the board of supervisors at its next meeting.

B. The board of supervisors may declare the common school district lapsed and attach the territory to one or more of the adjoining school districts, dispose of the property of the lapsed common school district and apply the proceeds to the credit of the lapsed common school district. The county school superintendent shall determine all unbonded indebtedness of the lapsed common school district and draw his warrant, on proper vouchers, on the county treasurer in payment of the unbonded indebtedness. Any balance remaining after such payment shall be transferred to the county school fund.
