The school's lawyers released statements in the following months saying that de-escalation techniques were necessary in some cases to ensure the safety of the school's students, faculty, and staff. Although, in 2018, the California Department of Education wrote in a preliminary investigation that school staff used "an amount of force which is not reasonable and necessary under the circumstances." The Department of Education took away the school's certification in early January, prompting the school to close on January 25. After almost four years, the school reportedly was charged with involuntary manslaughter on July 15, according to the district attorney's office. The three former educators charged pleaded not guilty in this new criminal case. They also pleaded not guilty in the civil case brought against them back in November of 2019. There hasn't been an outcome in the civil case as it has been stalled and Wohlwend, Meyers, and Keller were released on bail on the condition they would not teach or work at a daycare as they awaited trial.
