The New York Civil Liberties Union and the City of Utica indicated Thursday that they have settled a suit alleging some immigrant children in Utica were getting unequal educational opportunities compared with non-immigrants.

A proposed settlement filed before Northern District Judge David Hurd calls for the city to enhance outreach efforts and notify immigrant families that their children have a right to attend public school up to age 21, require families to opt out in writing when eligible children will not be attending school, enhance training for employees who register children in public schools and appoint a coordinator to oversee compliance with the settlement.
