House and Senate clash over busing and impact aid
Lawmakers wrangled over desegregation busing limits with two versions: one barring busing beyond the nearest or next nearest school and a reopening requirement for old cases, the other allowing court discretion. Rep Patsy Mink failed to block changes to impact aid reducing to 250 million for schools serving federally housed families while boosting 193 million for military installation families. Rep Bell warned the debate ignores child home and neighborhood context, citing San Francisco where a court ordered racial balance despite high Chinese American scores in separate schools.
