directly may apply for federal and state categorical programs in
cooperation with its authorizing local educational agency.

from negotiating with a local educational agency for a share of

chapter including, but not limited to, all of the following:
   (1) Forest reserve revenues and other operational revenues
received due to harvesting or extraction of minerals or other natural
resources.

exceed its revenue limit entitlement.

6 of Article IX of the California Constitution.

of January 1, 2007, is repealed, unless a later enacted statute that
becomes operative on or before January 1, 2007, deletes or extends
the dates on which it becomes inoperative and is repealed.
