Attorneys for the families of special-needs students allegedly abused by a city teacher filed a petition Wednesday for a class-action complaint against the teacher and members of the Board of Education on behalf of what they believe may be a large number of victims.
"The number of children who were abused may be in the hundreds," said attorney James Sullivan of Howard, Kohn, Sprague & FitzGerald in Hartford. The complaint was filed in United States District Court, District of Connecticut in Hartford, and names Michelle Campbell, a teacher at Chamberlain Elementary School, for allegedly using unreasonable force, unlawful restraint and physical, psychological and emotional abuse against special-needs students dating back to 1999. Within three other counts in the lawsuit, it alleges civil rights violations, negligent infliction of emotional distress and breach of fiduciary duty, all against Superintendent Doris Kurtz, Chamberlain Principal Jane Perez and the Board of Education of the Consolidated School District of New Britain.
