The school board members of a newly created district elected on or before the first Monday in May shall qualify and assume office as soon as can be conveniently done but not before the first Monday in January of the year in which the district will become operational. They shall organize the board as provided in chapter 13-8 and may immediately contract for services and supplies to be furnished the newly created school district for the fiscal year beginning July first of the year following the election and organization of such board. However, if a new district does not become operational, the contracts are void.
