Story Archives: Pastorek: Deaf School will reopen


Pastorek: Deaf School will reopen
by SONIA SMITH - Advocate (excerpt)

In a letter sent home to parents of students of the Louisiana School for the Deaf, state Superintendent of Education Paul Pastorek explained his rationale for temporarily closing the school amid reports of inappropriate behavior and reiterated his pledge to reopen it once changes are put in place.

“I am committed and determined to see that the Louisiana School for the Deaf remains in operation,” Pastorek wrote. “It is of immeasurable value to the state of Louisiana.”

About 50 students protested at the close of school Wednesday, carrying signs and refusing to let buses exit the campus until law enforcement authorities intervened. On Thursday, Pastorek met with the school’s 180 faculty and staff to reassure them that he intends to open the school as soon as safely possible, said Renè Greer, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Education.
