SUPERIOR COURT MILO SHEFF, ET AL 

VS. : JUDICIAL DISTRICT OF HARTFORD/ 
NEW BRITAIN AT HARTFORD 

WILLIAM A. O/NEILL, ET AL : SEPTEMBER 20, 1990 

PLAINTIFFS’ OBJECTION TO INTERROGATORIES 
  

Pursuant to §228 of the Connecticut Practice Book, the Plaintiffs 

herewith object to the following interrogatories dated July 13, 1990: 

8. Using the 1987-1988 data as a base, for Hartford and each of the identified suburban school districts Please specify the number and 
percentage of black, Hispanic and white students who must, of a 
necessity, attend school in a location outside of the existing school district in which they reside in order to address the condition of 
racial and ethnic isolation which now exists in accordance with the requirements of the Constitution. 

  

OBJECTION: Defendants’ interrogatory seeks information from 
plaintiffs in regard to the specific remedy that plaintiffs seek if they 
prevail in this lawsuit. To that extent, defendants do not seek 
information relating to the liability phase but the remedial phase of 
this lawsuit. Plaintiffs object on the grounds that such information is premature, and beyond the scope of the lawsuit at this present time. 

9. Using the 1987-88 data as a base, for Hartford and each of the 
identified suburban school districts please specify the number and 
percentage of poor, middle and/or upper class students who must, of 
necessity, attend school outside of the existing school district in 
which they reside in order to address the condition of socio-economic 
isolation which exists in Hartford and the identified suburban school 
districts in accordance with requirements of the Constitution. Also 
identify the specific criteria which must be used to identify the pool 
of poor Hartford students from which those students who would be 
reguired to attend schools outside of the existing district in which 
they reside must be chose so as to address the condition of 
sccio-economic isolation in accordance with the requirements of the 
Constitution. 

OBJECTION: See objection to Interrogatory 8.

"at risk" children in the Hartford Public Schools in accordance with the
