Yonkers Board of Education, 624 F. Supp. 1276 (1985) and 635 F. Supp. 1577 (1986), both aff'd, 837 F.2d 1181 (2d Cir. 1987), cert. denied, 486 U.S. 1055, 108 S. Ct. 2821, 100 L. Ed. 2d 922 (1988).

We affirm the judgment of the district court denying declaratory and injunctive relief substantially for the reasons stated in Judge Haight's Memorandum Opinion and Order published at 738 F. Supp. 1454 (1990). The mandate shall issue forthwith.
