CITYWIDE \u2014 STUDENTS WHO LOGGED INTO Naviance software, used for college applications<\/b> and advising purposes in many New York City high schools, may be entitled to a payment as a result of a class action court settlement, according to Leonie Haimson, founder and executive director of the education nonprofit Class Size Matters.
