BATON ROUGE (AP) — The Louisiana School for the Deaf is shutting down temporarily to add new security after a string of arrests on sex charges involving students and staff, the state superintendent of education said Tuesday. The decision comes less than two weeks after a male teenage student was accused of attacking a preteen female student on a school bus. Superintendent Paul Pastorek said he hasn’t decided how long to close the Baton Rouge school, which has about 200 students. —-Contact The Daily Reveille’s news staff at [email protected]
