MADISON, CT - A Superior Court judge granted judgment to the Madison Board of Education in a civil suit over the sexual misconduct of a former teacher against her students, according to a story in the Connecticut Law Tribune.
The Tribune reports that Judge James Abrams made his ruling in the three consolidated cases filed on behalf of students against the Board of Education and Daniel Hand High School Principal Anthony Salutari.
