Attorney Scott Zweig struck a disappointed, yet defiant, tone when commenting on the dismissal of the lawsuit he and Mary McGowan filed in an effort to overturn the West Hartford Board of Education’s decision to change the mascots of the town’s two public high schools.
The West Hartford Board of Education and its fellow defendants are asking a Superior Court judge to dismiss the lawsuit filed against them by two residents who are seeking to prevent the school district from changing the mascots of the town’s two public high schools.
A Superior Court judge in Hartford Friday denied two residents’ request for a temporary injunction that sought to prevent West Hartford’s two public high schools from moving forward with changing their mascots.
Another round of legal proceedings flared up Thursday and Friday after the two West Hartford residents filed another motion seeking a temporary injunction barring Conard and Hall high schools from adopting new mascots until a virtual hearing is held on July 7.
