Come Thursday, Deasy said, the school will be re-staffed and then some. by the school district.
Social workers will be placed in every classroom, and all staff and students from the past 30 years will be interviewed.
The unprecedented move, which Deasy anticipates to last through August, comes after two instructors were arrested.
Mark Berndt, 61, has been charged with illicit acts against 23 students.
A second instructor, 49-year-old Martin Springer, was arrested on suspicion of illicit conduct with students.
The arrests, which happened within a week of each other, had the community fuming at their being kept in the dark.
Deasy claimed many violated persons were relieved by the action taken
We the community demand our students be protected from illicit educator acts, was one of the protest proclamations.
News media were barred from the meeting.
If the news media is not allowed in the meeting, "you won't be
represented," said Solomon Brunson, who encouraged the community to
boycott the closed meeting.
The crowd, hundreds strong, chanted, "Let the media in!"
"We support a thorough, vigorous and fair investigation of all allegations."
The union said it was aware of Deasy's decision "regarding the staff at the Los Angeles Institution."
