Lawyers from the Connecticut-based Center for Children's Advocacy and Connecticut Legal Services have teamed up to file a complaint against the city of Bridgeport's school system for a third time since 2013, alleging inadequate services to special education students.

In a March 11 complaint, the organizations claims problems with special education services have not been adequately identified and addressed, particularly for children in low-income households. The complaint follows state acknowledgments in prior cases that Bridgeport was not succeeding in its state-mandated mission to educate all children fairly and equitably.
