The settlement was announced Tuesday on the second day of a trial.
The trial will continue. A judge is still considering whether the state or local government should contribute to a fund to pay for medical monitoring of the children.

If the judge decides against creating the fund, the $1 million that real estate broker Jim Sullivan and his family agreed to pay would go to charity.
