that is in existence on the date of the enactment of this 
Act and that has operated at a Bureau-funded school be-
fore September 1, 1999, may continue to operate during

reau a pro rata share of funds to reimburse the Bureau 
for the use of the real and personal property (including 
buses and vans), the funds of the charter school are kept 
separate and apart from Bureau funds, and the Bureau 
does not assume any obligation for charter school pro-
grams of the State in which the school is located if the 
charter school loses such funding. Employees of Bureau- 
funded schools sharing a campus with a charter school and
