Whenever the board of education of a district shall designate two or more high schools without the district for the attendance of its high school pupils it shall, by resolution, allocate and apportion such pupils among the designated high schools and if no such allocation and apportionment has been made prior to the academic year 1943-1944, the actual allocation and apportionment of pupils among said high schools in effect in said academic year shall be effective as such allocation and apportionment but if any board of education of any district which is not now sending pupils to a high school or high schools without the district shall hereafter so designate two or more high schools for said purpose and shall fail to allocate and apportion them by resolution among said high schools, the actual allocation and apportionment of high school pupils made in the first academic year of the designation shall be effective as the allocation and apportionment of such pupils.
