EXCLUSIVE: Legal group asks feds to launch Title IX investigation into Loudoun County Public Schools
In a Wednesday letter to Assistant Secretary of Education for Civil Rights Catherine Lhamon, America First Legal senior adviser Ian Prior urged the department to investigate the school district, a month after a Virginia special grand jury blasted the school district for failing to properly respond to the two assaults, which occurred in district high schools in 2021.
The grand jury was impaneled by Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares last year. In addition to the lengthy report, the grand jury also indicted former district Superintendent Scott Ziegler on multiple misdemeanor charges related to the handling of the assaults. The district's public information officer was also charged with perjury.
Prior said the school district continues to maintain inadequate Title IX procedures, calling them"woefully deficient under the law." "It is imperative that this be remedied to protect students and prevent further situations like those that occurred at Stone Bridge and Broad Run High Schools," Prior wrote."Accordingly, we ask that the Department promptly open an investigation into the allegations in the complaint, take all actions necessary to remedy the unlawful practices and procedures, and order all appropriate relief.
"Instead of focusing on policies, regulation, and procedures to provide students with a safe environment where they can thrive and achieve excellence, public school systems like this one are far more concerned with enacting political agendas and treating parents and the rule of law as mere inconveniences that can be ignored," he said."It is the obligation of the Department of Education to enforce Title IX.
