under the provisions of this Article in the same village, town or city, unless
each additional high school has an average daily attendance in excess of
two hundred pupils; provided that this provision shall not affect the right

of Schools shall correct his report by certifying the proper changes to the
Comptroller. In the event that the amount due all high schools eligible
for State aid exceeds the amount appropriated therefor, then the amount
appropriated may be pro-rated among such high schools.
