The trial against Ronald Schongar, who was hired several years ago to perform mold remediation of the former Samuel Staples Elementary School, has been set for Aug. 19.
Judge Ellen B. Burns will hear the case scheduled at 10 a.m. at the federal courthouse in New Haven.
The U.S. Department of Justice has notified the town that it has been labeled as a victim in the case of United States v. Ronald Schongar.
First Selectman Tom Herrmann posted notice of the trial since some may consider themselves possible victims in the case.
The Easton school district, along with several others, is part of the lawsuit against Mr. Schongar pertaining to the services he provided. Anyone who wishes to take a direct position in connection with Mr. Schongar’s trial is asked to contact the first selectman’s office.
The trial, previously set for January, had been delayed because of the defendant’s medical condition.
In his notice, Mr. Herrmann warned residents that hearing dates may change on very short notice. Those who wish to attend may want to call the VNS Call Center or check the Web site to confirm the date and time.
Information about the case is available at notify.usdoj.gov.
