technical, or professional levels.

used for any of the following purposes: standards-based curriculum

pathways, program articulation in grades 7 to 14, inclusive, material
and equipment, student support, work-based learning experiences, and
professional development.

established under this article on or before January 1, 2012.

2014, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted
statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2014, deletes or extends
that date.
