02/21/2025On February 18, 2025, HSSK Partner David Slossberg appeared on WICC's "Melissa in the Morning" to discuss the recent $5 million settlement for former Stone Academy students. The Waterbury Superior Court granted preliminary approval for this settlement, which aims to provide financial relief to nearly 1,000 students affected by the school's abrupt closure in 2023 and other opportunities for these students to complete their education.
During the interview, Slossberg detailed the settlement's structure, noting that funds will be distributed based on factors such as the percentage of the nursing program each student completed. He also highlighted provisions for remedial education funding to assist students in transitioning to other academic programs.
Slossberg shared that he hopes to receive final approval of the settlement at next week’s hearing on February 26, 2025.
