U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 1757. Prohibition of forced busing during school year
(a) Congressional findings
The Congress finds that -
(1) the forced transportation of elementary and secondary
school students in implementation of the constitutional
requirement for the desegregation of such schools is
controversial and difficult under the best planning and
administration; and
(2) the forced transportation of elementary and secondary
school students after the commencement of an academic school year
is educationally unsound and administratively inefficient.
(b) Student transportation orders incidental to student transfers
pursuant to school desegregation plans effective beginning with
academic school year
Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no order of a court,
department, or agency of the United States, requiring the
transportation of any student incident to the transfer of that
student from one elementary or secondary school to another such
school in a local educational agency pursuant to a plan requiring
such transportation for the racial desegregation of any school in
that agency, shall be effective until the beginning of an academic
school year.
(c) "Academic school year" defined
For the purpose of this section, the term "academic school year"
means, pursuant to regulations promulgated by the Secretary, the
customary beginning of classes for the school year at an elementary
or secondary school of a local educational agency for a school year
that occurs not more often than once in any twelve-month period.
(d) Orders subject to provisions of section
The provisions of this section apply to any order which was not
implemented at the beginning of the 1974-1975 academic year.
