Sheff v. O’Neill, the landmark desegregation case in Connecticut, has shaped school systems in the greater Hartford region for decades. The state of Connecticut has announced it reached a settlement with the plaintiffs. This hour, we hear more from CT Mirror education reporter Jacqueline Rabe Thomas.

Connecticut’s Open Choice program, where students from Hartford travel to suburban schools, has been part of the state’s desegregation solution under Sheff. Simsbury High School is one of those schools.

This weekend the high school will perform the musical, Hairspray. The production has opened up an opportunity for students and the larger Simsbury community to talk about race and privilege. We hear from student members of the cast and we want to hear from you.
