House Busing Amendment Seeks Fuel Savings in Energy Crisis
The House approved a 221 to 192 amendment to the National Energy Emergency Act to bar fuel allocation for busing students to racially balance schools. North Carolina lawmakers Wilmer Mizell and Richardson Preyer supported the move citing safety and fuel savings, while critics say reductions may shift travel to private cars and fail to address underlying neighborhood school integration concerns. The Senate must approve, delaying effect until next school year.
