Upon the granting of the request for a hearing, I gained a stipulation from the other two parties on June 19, 1981, which included the following pertinent facts:

    1. That the parent intervenors were citizen-taxpayers residing in the District, and were continuously opposed to the "mandatory assignment of" their student children, "and others similarly situated because of their race" to particular schools within the school district; and to the use of tax moneys for that purpose.

    2. That the student intervenors attended their neighborhood District schools, were of a particular race (most being "Caucasian," but one being partly of "Hispanic" extraction) and were continuously opposed "to the mandatory assignment" of them "and others similarly situated and affected, because of their race" to particular public schools within the school district.

    3. That the parents were appointed guardians ad litem "for each of the minors who are the Intervenors herein."

    4. That the Carlin plaintiffs were "students who are attending, or former students who have attended the public schools within said District."

    5. That the defendant Board of Education was "the governing agency administering the public schools within said District...."

    6. That "(t)he public schools, including those attended, and to be attended, by student Intervenors, within said District, administered by Board, receive(d) federal financial assistance."

    7. That "(p)arent Intervenors, and other parents similarly situated, are and would be substantially affected
