A federal judge in Brooklyn has ordered officials at Poly Prep Country Day School to produce the names of current and former members of the board of trustees from 1966 until the present.
United States Magistrate Judge Cheryl Pollak issued the order on Aug. 30, two days after U.S. District Court Judge Frederic Block ruled that he will allow portions of an explosive sex-abuse lawsuit to proceed against the elite private school.
Lawyers for the 12 plaintiffs who claim they were sexually abused by longtime Poly Prep football coach Phil Foglietta had asked the court in June to compel the school to produce the names, last known addresses and dates of service for all current and former members of the board.
The plaintiffs, according to Pollak’s order, said they wanted the information to “ascertain the acts, omissions, and culpability of individual trustees in order to determine how to proceed with plaintiff’s remaining claims.”
