ORDER entered by Judge Joe Billy McDade on 11/4/09 granting 282 Motion for Settlement. This Court finds that the proposed settlement agreement is fair, adequate, and reasonable and hereby APPROVES the settlement agreement. The settlement agreemen t represents a significant bargain for Plaintiffs that outweighs the potential merit of Plaintiffs' case and is not the product of collusion between counsel. The Court is convinced that the agreement represents the best method of continuing the progress made in the Champaign schools that was started by the Consent Decree. This Court further is convinced that the agreement places the future of Champaign school children in the hands of persons best equipped to educate: the administrators, teachers, and staff of the Champaign schools, the community they serve, and the parents that are part of that community. The Consent Decree is hereby TERMINATED in its entirety. (FDT, ilcd)
