for the 2004-05 biennium to be distributed to support the 
establishment and implementation of services, programs, and 
activities designed to enrich or extend student learning 
experiences outside of the regular school day.  It is the intent of 
the legislature that grants shall be provided to schools to match 
local funds expended for this purpose.  In awarding grants pursuant

allotment an amount not to exceed $2.5 million in each year of the 
biennium to the Investment Capital Fund.  Out of the amount 
identified above, it is the intent of the Legislature that the 
Commissioner allocate $4,500,000 in each year of the biennium, in 
addition to the amount set aside from the Compensatory Education 
allotment, for programs currently eligible for grants from the 
Investment Capital Fund. Grants made from the Investment Capital 
Fund pursuant to this rider are subject to the provisions contained 
in § 7.024 of the Texas Education Code, and grants may only be made 
to entities that meet the criteria set forth in that section.
	Out of the amount identified above, it is the intent of the 
Legislature that the Commissioner allocate $17,500,000 in each year 
of the biennium for use by the Communities in Schools Program
