           Per Curiam. We have carefully read the parties'

submissions      and   have   reviewed   the    district   court    and

administrative records.        Based on our review, we find that

the decision to grant the defendants' motions for summary

judgment   was    without     error.     We    therefore   affirm   the

judgement of the district court for essentially the reasons

stated in its opinion, Ross v. Framingham School Comm., 

(D. Mass. 1999).

           Affirmed.     See Local Rule 27(c).
