School officials and police on Tuesday went to extraordinary lengths to protect Kayla Lemieux, the high school teacher who previously donned massive Z-cup prosthetic breasts in front of students.
Lemieux drove to a Tim Horton coffee shop just blocks from Nora Frances Henderson Secondary School in Hamilton, Ontario, and met two female plainclothes officers from the Halton Regional Police Department.
Just like the week before — and revealed in exclusive photos from DailyMail.com — Lemieux presented as a man.
There was no trace of the teacher’s long blonde wig or giant breast prostheses under form-fitting tops.
It’s not yet known how she’ll present herself on the first day of class tomorrow — and school officials haven’t commented on her views either.

Lemieux drove to a Tim Horton coffee shop just blocks from Nora Frances Henderson Secondary School in Hamilton, Ontario, and met two female plainclothes officers from the Halton Regional Police Department.
It is expected that security will be even stricter on Wednesday morning when the students report to school for the first day of class
Lemieux followed the officers to a nearby police station, where they spoke for about 30 minutes – no doubt discussing the measures in place for the start of classes at the school on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, a trio of security guards hired by the school board patrolled the extensive grounds and monitored the entrances to the two parking lots.
At 9:15 a.m. local time, Lemieux arrived at the school, escorted by an unmarked Halton regional police force. She entered the building at the rear, where her shop class is located.
It is expected that security will be even stricter on Wednesday morning when the students report to school for the first day of class.
In a letter to parents, Principal Tom Fisher warned of “potential on-site media attention and protests” when the school reopens on September 6 due to the hiring of an “experience teacher” who was “recently the subject of public attention, regarding to their gender expression, while they teach at a school in another community.’
Fisher did not name Lemieux, but outlined precautions, including “allowing students to enter and exit the building through the assigned doors on entry and exit” and “locking exterior doors during school hours, using only the front door during school hours.”
Fisher could not be reached for comment.
It remains to be seen whether there will be any protests after the Daily Mail revealed that Lemieux showed up dressed as a man and with facial hair the week before school.
Lemieux kept quiet when approached by a Daily Mail reporter asking why she previously claimed the giant prosthetic breasts were real – and did not respond when asked if she would teach as a woman or as a man.
Lemieux caused chaos last fall when photos circulated showing massive breasts while working at a Canadian high school

The controversial teacher insisted the huge breasts are real – a result of a condition called “gigantomastia” – and said she is not transgender, but intersex, meaning he was born with both male and female genitalia. Lemieux admitted that he had nothing of a doctor to back up his claims.
Police would not say whether there were any threats against Lemieux or the school.
On Tuesday, a lone woman waited on the street outside the school. “I’ll be back tomorrow,” she said, adding that it was important to “protect the kids.”
Lemieux infuriated parents and caused chaos last fall when photos circulated showing him working at Oakville Trafalgar High School.
Lemieux was sent home earlier this year after the Halton District School Board (HDSB) failed to enact a dress code that would have tamed the teacher’s cartoonish appearance.
The HDSB complained that its hands were tied because of the province’s human rights code.
“The HDSB recognizes the rights of students, staff, parents/guardians and community members to fair treatment without discrimination based on gender identity and gender expression,” the board said in a statement. “Gender identity and gender expression are protected grounds under the Ontario Human Rights Code.”
Lemieux’s new employer, the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board — for whom he previously worked when he taught engineering at Ancaster High School — declined to comment, citing his right to privacy.
According to the Ontario College of Teachers, which certifies educators, “Kerry Luc Lemieux” has been a teacher in “good standing” since 2006.
