The Louisiana School for the Deaf is shutting down – at least temporarily. The school is in the midst of a sex scandal, leading to the arrest of both staff and students. The latest involved a mentally impaired teenage student who is accused of sexually attacking another, younger student on a school bus. The chaperone did not know sign language and when a student tried to tell her what was happening, she didn’t understand.
The state superintendent of education plans to add new security features before reopening the facility. A consultant says the institution's top administrator should be fired and new system installed. About 200 students attend the Baton Rouge school.
