Daily News | Former Glen Mills students reach $3 million settlement with Chester County Intermediate Unit in abuse lawsuit
Former students suing the Glen Mills Schools and local and state agencies over systemic abuse at the now-shuttered reform school have settled with the Chester County Intermediate Unit for $3 million.
“These young adults experienced and witnessed abuse and were left to languish in an ineffective, self-directed credit recovery program or diverted to a GED path, while the hope of obtaining a high school diploma slipped away,” said Maura McInerney, legal director at the Education Law Center, which is representing plaintiffs. “They need access to resources now to change their futures.”
