California Supreme Court limits busing in desegregation ruling
The California Supreme Court held that districts must take only steps that are reasonably feasible to desegregate, avoiding mandatory racial balance in every school. It reaffirmed the 1963 Pasadena decision that LA and San Bernardino districts must pursue feasible measures, with local boards leading plans alongside community leaders.

Supreme Court limits federal judges in school desegregation rulings
The Supreme Court ruled that federal courts may not redraw attendance boundaries to maintain desegregation. The 10 to 2 decision, touching Pasadena plans from 1970, maintains that once populations shift, districts cannot be forced to preserve a no-majority policy, limiting further efforts to desegregate through court-ordered boundary changes. The ruling ties to the Pasadena case and the 1971 cross-busing decision.
