HCS to Get Art Supplies from Art Store Settlement

Mon, Sep 19, 2011

Students in art classes at HCS will soon be using art supplies coming to the school as part of a $1.8 million settlement of a lawsuit brought by the state.

Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman today announced that the state has agreed to a $1.8 million settlement with Michaels Stores Inc. The state accused the retail chain of engaging in deceptive advertising practices. Michaels sells arts and crafts supplies and custom framing at its 48 stores across the state, including one in Utica.

As part of the settlement, school districts located within a 50-mile radius of a Michaels store are eligible to receive a $200 store gift card for each school within their district.
