Boston School Committee Rejects Phase Two Busing Plan
Boston officials split 3 2 as the Boston School Committee refused to approve the federally recommended Phase Two busing plan to integrate all 200 city schools by next September. Judge Garrity ordered the plan and summoned members to appear in person for potential contempt. The 31 000 student plan would route pupils up to seven miles, as violence and protests surround the ongoing busing crisis. The document also would grant parents a say in teaching styles and classroom settings.
