Almost five years after abuse reports shut Eagleton School, some plaintiffs have been paid

GREAT BARRINGTON — Several lawsuits filed by former students who allege rampant abuse at a now-shuttered boarding school were settled this year for undisclosed amounts. Other lawsuits are pending.
Three lawsuits against the Eagleton School, its founder and former director Bruce Bona, as well as staff, have settled with former students of the school for boys ages 9 to 22 with emotional, behavioral and cognitive disabilities.
Two suits are pending — one in U.S. District Court in Springfield, the other in Suffolk Superior Court in Boston.
In two cases, settled in federal court, the former students had asked for $9.9 million and $1 million. Chester Tennyson, their attorney, said he could not reveal the amount of the settlements. One of his cases is pending.
