Dear Dr. LaFontaine: 

I'd like to thank you again for undertaking the monumental effort to make it here 
from Hartford last week to share your experience and insight on the question of remedying 
the constitutional violations suffered by Hartford students. Your reflections and comments 
gave us a lot to think about as we chart future efforts to assure that the Sheff v. O’Neill 
decision is implemented. : 

  

Please submit any expenses you may have incurred as a result of your attendance. 
Thanks again for your assistance and for your continuing commitment to education equity. 

I look forward to speaking with you in the future. 

Very truly yours, 

Oi O.Cg, 
Dennis D. Parker
