State Agrees To Settle Southbury Training School Class Action
State officials have agreed to a class-action lawsuit settlement that calls for better efforts to place mentally retarded residents of the Southbury Training School into the community. The settlement filed Monday in U.S. District Court says the more than 450 residents at the facility will be entitled to assessments and other information that will help them and their guardians make decisions about community placements. Senior U.S. District Judge Ellen Bree Burns will decide whether to approve the agreement. She ruled in 2008 that the state hasn't done enough to help the residents relocate into the community. – Associated Press
