  6.36  made until the participating districts determine the site of the 
  7.1   magnet school facility.  If the total amount of the approved 
  7.2   applications exceeds the amount of grant funding that is or can 
  7.3   be made available, the commissioner shall allot the available 
  7.4   amount equally between the approved applicant districts.  The 
  7.5   commissioner shall promptly certify to each qualified joint 
  7.6   powers board the amount, if any, of the grant awarded to it. 
  7.7      (f) Each grant must be evidenced by a contract between the 
  7.8   joint powers board and the state acting through the 
  7.9   commissioner.  The contract obligates the state to pay to the 
  7.10  joint powers board an amount computed according to paragraph 
  7.11  (e)(ii) and a schedule, and terms and conditions acceptable to 
  7.12  the commissioner of finance.

 11.31  education system shall pay its resulting net assessment to the

 11.33  education system fails to make a payment when due, the 
 11.34  commissioner of finance shall reduce allotments for 
 11.35  appropriations from the general fund otherwise available to the 
 11.36  system and apply the amount of the reduction to cover the missed 
 12.1   debt service payment.  The commissioner of finance shall credit 
 12.2   the payments received from the higher education systems to the 
 12.3   bond debt service account in the state bond fund each December 1
