1. //Be it enacted by the Members of the McG Model Congress// 2. //of the United States of America in Congress assembled//, 4. In My Backyard 6. Children are traveling on busses for hours to school and back home every day. 7. Having children go to school far away from their home takes away from their 8. community, and makes it harder for parental involvement. 9. If children were given the option to go to their neighborhood school this would allow 10. more money to go to the kid’s education, instead of bussing. 11. In the year of 1971, there was a court order to enforce desegregation bussing to help 12. make schools more diverse. 13. Although this was a great idea in 1971, America has transformed as a country into 14. what we like to call a “melting pot” and diversity in our neighborhoods and schools 15. have improved since 1971. 17. The purpose of this bill is to strengthen the local communities by ending the process 18. of forced bussing and keeping children in schools in their backyard. 20. Students that are being forced to go to schools not in their neighborhood will have the 21. option to choose their school 22. Parents will be able to be more involved in school activities and their child’s lives at 23. school 24. Students will have more time for after school activities and homework, and not as 25. much time on the busses. 26. More money will go to schools and education, as opposed to bussing and gas for 27. busses 29. Desegregation bussing will cease only in neighborhoods where the diversity of the 30. school will only be altered by 2-3% 31. in doing that, the schools will stay diverse and desegregation bussing will not be 32. required 33. Schools that’s diversity is altered by more than 2-3% if the forced bussing is stopped, 34. will keep the desegregation bussing until diversity is not and issue in those 37. All administrators will oversee schools that forced bussing stops in to make sure 38. that diversity is not an issue in those neighborhoods anymore. 39. If diversity is still a problem in a neighborhood, administrators will make sure 40. that desegregation bussing is funded, and allowed. 41. School board representatives in districts states around the country 42. State government 43. Congress
