Families, especially those at Chapman and Highland, face friend groups being split and possible school changes, but a waiver process will open Jan. 26 for some Chapman students reassigned to Highland.
   

• Florida teen haunted by Connecticut sex assaults as child comes forward 10 years later, police say (greenwichtime.com) — Cheshire police have charged a man in connection with repeated sexual abuse of a young girl that allegedly began in town about a decade ago and was recently disclosed in Florida.
