A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HUNTINGTON BEACH OPPOSING ANY PLAN TO IMPOSE
BUSING INVOLVING THE TRANSPORT OF STUDENTS OUT-
SIDE ORANGE COUNTY
WHEREAS, a "Metropolitan Plan" has been proposed which ad-
vocates mass busing of school children in Los Angeles , Orange
and Ventura counties; and
Although desegregation of schools is the philosophy behind
such Metropolitan Plan, the adverse effects redounding to stu-
dents and effective local control of educational programs and
policies would be enormous; and
This Council has always been a strong supporter of home
rule, and finds that local teacher-parent relations is the
strongest element in a healthy school system most benefiting
the school children of this community and Orange County; and
The taxpayers , whose money supports and pays for the edu-
cational programs available to the citizenry, should not be
expected to finance a metropolitan plan which would prove ex-
cessively expensive and burdensome to parents and children alike,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Huntington Beach, on behalf of the taxpayers in this
community, that it does unalterably oppose any desegregation pro-
gram which involves busing school children outside the limits of
Orange County, thereby creating an unnecessary burden on both
parents and children, and adding to the tax burdens of all mem-
bers of the community, including those whose children are no
longer in school .
BE IT FURTHERRESOLVED that the City Clerk is directed to
forward copies of this resolution to appropriate members of the
legislature, and other public entities having a special interest

PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of
