Section 41540.
(a) There is hereby established the targeted instructional improvement block grant.

(b) If a school district is not in violation of a court order regarding desegregation, the school district may expend funds received pursuant to this article for any purpose authorized by the programs listed in Section 41541 as the statutes governing those programs read on January 1, 2004.
(c) For purposes of this article, “school district” includes a county office of education if county offices of education are eligible to receive funds for the programs that are listed in Section 41541.

(1) The charter school continues to serve the same general population.
(2) The charter school implements the intended goals of the court order.
(3) The court order remains in effect.
