28    net State aid entitlement for school year  1981-1982  divided
29    by  the  total  net  State  aid  entitlement  times the funds
30    appropriated for such purpose.  Payment in full of the amount
31    of compensation derived from the computation required in  the
32    preceding sentence shall be made as soon as may be after July
