The New Haven Unified School District has been named in an American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) lawsuit against the state of California and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger alleging that schools statewide are illegally charging students fees for books, uniforms, classes and other basic supplies.

The ACLU filed the suit on behalf of two southern California high school students, called "Jane Doe" and "Jason Roe" to protect their identities and their families.
