a reduction in government spending; and
WHEREAS,
involunta~ inter-district of busing of school children
will cost tens of millions of dollars; and
WHEREAS,
inter-district school curriculums would have to be
controlled via state directives, and the local control
of schools as provided for in the State Education Code
would be significantly reduced or lost; and

obligated to impose involuntary inter-district busing
of school children as a result of federal legislations.
WHEREAS,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Seal

school children and requests state, county and local officials to stand
united in opposition to the same.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Seal Beach
does support and recommend a state constitutional amendment prohibiting
