RE: SHEFF v. O'NEILL ~ CV. 89-03502772 
  

Dear Judge Hammer: 

Enclosed please find defendants' exhibit 2.36 which is 

missing from the set of exhibits which we previously provided to 

the court. Also enclosed is a revised version of exhibit 8.11. 

Upon review, it was determined that the version of the exhibit 

already provided to the court contained a number of errors 

including an error in computation. This substitute exhibit 

contains the appropriate corrections. 

Copies of these exhibits are being provided to the 

plaintiffs' attorneys and have already been incorporated ‘in the 

courtesy copy of the exhibits which we are providing for your use 

during the trial. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Very truly yours,

PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL 

PLANNING PROPOSAL 

December 10, 1992 

I. Organizational Structure 

A. Steering Committee 
1 Composition 

a. chairperson 

b. plaintiff and defendant representatives 
C. attorney representatives 

d. Governor’s Office representative 
2. Purpose - to guide the development of an educational equity plan 

with power to accept or reject a plan submitted by the Planning Committee 

B. Planning Committee 

1. Composition 

a. educational experts 

b. desegregation experts 
C. demographers 
d. suburban superintendent representatives 
€. Hartford community representatives 

2 Purpose - to develop an educational equity plan that addresses the racial, 
economic and educational segregation in Hartford and the surrounding school districts 

II. Goals 

1 Hartford and surrounding suburban schools will be racially, ethnically and socio- 
economically integrated according to established specific numerical targets. 

2 All school and school systems involved in any ultimate plan will have staff and 
faculty that represent the diversity of the applicant pool currently existing in the greater Hartford 
area. 

3, Any special programs implemented or needed for the education of African 
American, Puerto Rican and other Latino and Asian students must follow those students 
regardless of where they will be attending school. 

 



4. The Hartford school district must be enhanced to equalize the educational 
resources. Compensatory programs must be offered, such as: 

bilingual education integrated with the mainstream 
theme based instruction or magnet schools 
multi-cultural education 
schools with family resource centers 
preschool and early childhood education 
extended day kindergarten 
intensified reading programs and home libraries 
summer schools and after school programs 
parent involvement programs 
equitable screening for learning disabled and other special education 
expanded counselling and support services 
professional enhancement for teachers 
smaller class sizes and increased numbers of teachers 
educational innovative programs such as "Success for All" 
drop-out prevention, teenage pregnancy programs T

5. There must be an examination of the current facilities to determine whether they 
are best suited to address the current issues of racial isolation and poverty. There is no need 
to be bound to either the type or location of current facilities if they cannot address these 
issues. 

6. The curricula must be evaluated and altered as necessary to achieve a 
representation of the diversity, racially, ethnically and socio-economically, of the students of the 
Hartford metropolitan area. Special education, gifted, advanced, academic and vocational 
offerings must be designed so that no racial or ethnic group is disproportionately represented in 
any single area. 

7 The educational plan should include provisions related to housing, health and 
human and human resources remedies. 

8. The final report must contain specific strategies and monitoring devices to ensure 
that once the plan is implemented, it will succeed in terms of integration and educational 
achievement. 

III. Timetable - The Steering and Planning Committees must complete the planning process 
within 4 months. Prior to the release of the final report, it will be presented to focus groups 
appointed by the Steering Committee. 

IV. Funding - The State will furnish the necessary office space, secretarial support and 
stipends for educational consultants to achieve the goals of the planning process within the 
timetable. :
