S. 1, 91 S.Ct. 1267, 28 L.Ed.2d 554 (1971) insofar as they relate to the issues presented in this case, including, but not limited to, the provisions of that opinion relative to a majority to minority pupil transfer option providing for free transportation and space availability to the transferring student.
