LOS ANGELES – The entire staff at a U.S. school where two teachers were arrested on suspicion of lewd conduct will be removed while the school district investigates, the Los Angeles school superintendent said Monday night.

Superintendent John Deasy told parents and media that 88 teachers and 40 support staff at Miramonte Elementary School are being replaced because a full investigation of allegations is disruptive. They will be paid. Officials didn't know how long the investigation will take.

An entire staff has been trained to come into Miramonte's classrooms to take over teaching, and there will be a psychiatric social worker in every classroom.

"The last thing I'm worried about is a budget issue," Deasy said. "The No. 1 thing I'm worried about is the students."

The move follows the arrest of two Miramonte teachers. Mark Berndt was charged last week with committing lewd acts on 23 children, and Martin Springer was arrested Friday on suspicion of fondling two girls in his classroom.

stupid stupid stupid, talk about a waster of taxpayer funds.
California is already under-budgeted and now they are going to waste even more money by paying this staff to stay at home, if they fire them, then you are going to see a lawsuit.

from a different source:

"Positions will be filled by qualified teachers and other workers already on a placement or rehiring list, the Times report stated. But the displacement of the current staff could be temporary, according to the report."

"Deasy said staffers are being replaced because a full investigation of allegations is disruptive, and staffers require support to get through the scandal."

"There will also be a psychiatric social worker in every classroom to help students and staff cope with any issues that need to be dealt with."

-------
Sounds more like they're looking out for the students and the staff here. They're being paid and unless it can be proved that they knew but didn't report the two that were mistreating their students, I can't imagine they won't be able to come back to their full-time jobs. Probably easier, faster, and more thorough to do things this way.

missing the big picture here california already has ran out of money basically, this school district is going to hire a 100+ people to fill these positions and send the original staff home. what happens when the investigation is over? where does the school district place the new staff or old staff?
somebody is going to be without a job in the end.

There must be something else involved that is pretty bad that they are not telling yet for this extreme act.

That's besides the point. They have to do a full investigation (maybe by law- not sure on that). Which means investigating all the staff. They can do it one at a time (in which case a sub will need to fill in) or all at once. The "new" staff is aware that this is most likely a temporary placement. And if the school doesn't do a full investigation they open themselves up to an extremely costly lawsuit- far more costly than what they're doing now. It's more a case of "spend a little now or a LOT more later".

Then after an Oatmeal Cranberry and Double Chocolate,
it made my new vagina spontaneously sing the Trolololo Song in an elevator.
