Cal. Education Code - EDC § 41305. Section 41305.

The amounts provided under Section 41304 for any fiscal year shall be limited to the amounts appropriated in the annual Budget Act for the purposes of that section, and shall not exceed an amount equal to the sum of the moneys credited to the Driver Training Penalty Assessment Fund in the State Treasury during the preceding fiscal year and the amount by which the deposits in the Driver Training Penalty Assessment Fund on or after September 15, 1961, have exceeded the amounts required to reimburse the General Fund on account of transfers made after that date.

Cal. Education Code - EDC § 41306. Section 41306.

The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall also allow as otherwise provided in Section 41304 for the driver training instruction necessary to be safely tested for a driver’s license at the Department of Motor Vehicles, those physically handicapped pupils, pupils with intellectual disabilities who come within the provisions of former Section 56501, as amended by Chapter 1247 of the Statutes of 1977, and educationally handicapped pupils who are in attendance in a public secondary school in California that offers qualified instruction, and who may qualify for a driver’s license, or other license, issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles, a total allowance not to exceed two hundred ninety dollars ($290) including the reimbursement provisions set forth in Section 41900 to each school district and county superintendent of schools. All driver training for pupils herein described shall be provided by qualified teachers, as defined by Sections 41906 and 41907. This section may not be applied if reimbursement allowable under Sections 41900 to 41912, inclusive, is sufficient to meet the total cost of instruction as herein described. It is the intent of the Legislature that driver training instruction be provided to pupils as a part of the high school curriculum, and the Legislature finds and declares that exceptional children are entitled to the benefit of that instruction so far as their individual capabilities permit, understanding that those pupils herein described often require individualized and amplified driver training instruction in order to succeed in becoming safe operators of motor vehicles. Since without a means of self-transportation much of the overall program of education and rehabilitation provided for by the Legislature would be of little avail to the person without the mobility required to become a productive and well-adjusted member of society, the Legislature further declares that it is incumbent upon the state to share in the cost of providing a most needed and desirable program of driver training instruction for these exceptional children.

Cal. Education Code - EDC § 41307. Section 41307.

In addition there shall be provided such amount as the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall certify as necessary to provide the allowances to school districts during each fiscal year under the provisions of Sections 41932 to 41936, inclusive. Such amount is hereby appropriated from the Investment Fund in the State Treasury and shall be transferred therefrom to the State School Fund by the State Controller each fiscal year.

Cal. Education Code - EDC § 41308. Section 41308.

Each pregnant pupil enrolled in any program for physically handicapped pupils maintained by a county superintendent of schools, whose only condition for being enrolled in such a program is her pregnancy, shall be allowed to enroll in automobile driver training provided by the school district of residence; however, the school district shall receive, for the driver training instruction of the pupil, only the driver training allowances authorized by Section 41900 and shall not receive, for the driver training instruction of the pupil, driver training allowances authorized by Section 41306.

Cal. Education Code - EDC § 41311. Section 41311.

It is the intent of the Legislature that the Child Nutrition Program shall provide permanent financial assistance to eligible school districts, county superintendents of schools, local agencies, private schools, parochial schools, and child development programs, for implementing the school meal program. That financial assistance shall be used to reimburse the cafeteria account of school districts, county superintendents of schools, local agencies, private schools, parochial schools, and child development programs, based upon the number of qualifying meals served to students.
