property owned by the United States. 
(2) The Secretary’s authority to make payments 
under this section shall terminate if the State of California 
or local education agencies do not continue to provide 
funding to the schools referred to in subsection (a) at per
student levels that are no less than the amount provided 
in fiscal year 2005. 
(b) LIMITATION
ON USE
OF FUNDS.—Payments 
made under this section shall only be used to pay public

made under this section shall not exceed the lesser of— 
(1) $400,000 in any fiscal year; or 
(2) the amount necessary to provide students 
described in subsection (a) with educational services 
that are normally provided and generally available to 
students who attend public schools elsewhere in the 
State of California. 
(d) SOURCE OF PAYMENTS.—(1) Except as otherwise 
provided in this subsection, the Secretary may use funds 
available to the National Park Service from appropria-
tions, donations, or fees. 
(2) Funds from the following sources shall not be 
used to make payments under this section: 
(A) Any law authorizing the collection or ex-
penditure of entrance or use fees at units of the Na-
tional Park System, including the Land and Water
Conservation Fund Act of 1965 (16 U.S.C. 460l–4 
et seq.); the recreational fee demonstration program 
established under section 315 of the Department of 
the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations 
Act, 1996 (16 U.S.C. 460l–6a note); and the Na-
tional Park Passport Program established under sec-
tion 602 of the National Parks Omnibus Manage-
ment Act of 1998 (16 U.S.C. 5992). 
(B) Emergency appropriations for flood recov-
ery at Yosemite National Park. 
(3)(A) The Secretary may use an authorized funding

source (after subtracting any payments to the school dis-
tricts authorized under this section) is greater than or 
equal to the amount made available to the park for the 
prior fiscal year, or in fiscal year 2005, whichever is great-
er. 
(B) It is the sense of Congress that any payments 
made under this section should not result in a reduction 
of funds to Yosemite National Park from any specific

funds, funding levels should reflect annual increases in the 
park’s operating base funds that are generally made to 
units of the National Park System.
