     4    c. Payment of moneys due for prior years. State aid payments  due  for
     5  prior  years in accordance with the provisions of this subdivision shall
     6  be paid either: (i) from funds available  in  the  general  support  for
     7  public  school  appropriation  as  a  result  of the deduction of excess
