                                 AN ACT


 
  To authorize the Secretary of the Interior to provide supplemental 
 funding and other services that are necessary to assist the State of 
  California or local educational agencies in California in providing 
educational services for students attending schools located within the 
                                 Park.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

<DELETED>SECTION 1. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.</DELETED>

<DELETED>    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (1) The three elementary schools serving the 
        children of employees of Yosemite National Park are served by 
        the Bass Lake Joint Union Elementary School District and the 
        Mariposa Unified School District.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (2) The schools are in remote mountainous areas 
        and long distances from other educational and administrative 
        facilities of the two local educational agencies.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (3) Because of their remote locations and 
        relatively small number of students, schools serving the 
        children of employees of the Park provide fewer services in 
        more basic facilities than the educational services and 
        facilities provided to students that attend other schools 
        served by the two local educational agencies.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (4) Because of the long distances involved and 
        adverse weather and road conditions that occur during much of 
        the school year, it is impractical for the children of 
        employees of the Park who live within or near the Park to 
        attend other schools served by the two local educational 
        agencies.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to authorize the 
Secretary of the Interior to provide supplemental funding and other 
services that are necessary to assist the State of California or local 
educational agencies in California in providing educational services 
for students attending schools located within the Park.</DELETED>

<DELETED>SEC. 2. PAYMENTS FOR EDUCATIONAL SERVICES.</DELETED>

District for educational services to students who are dependents of

the Park or students who live at or near the Park upon real property of 
the United States.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (b) Limitation on Use of Funds.--Payments made by the 
Secretary under this section may not be used for new construction, 
construction contracts, or major capital improvements, and may be used 
only to pay public employees for services otherwise authorized by this 
Act.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (c) Limitation on Amount of Funds.--Payments made under 
this section shall not exceed the lesser of $400,000 in any fiscal year 
or the amount necessary to provide students described in subsection (a)

of California.</DELETED>

the Secretary is authorized to adjust payments made under this section
