The Department of Education has initiated a federal civil rights investigation into Loudoun County Public Schools over its response to two sexual assaults in 2021 that occurred in district high schools.
Last week, the department's office for civil rights notified Ian Prior, a senior adviser at America First Legal and the author of Parents of the World, Unite! How to Save Our Schools from the Left’s Radical Agenda, that the agency had launched an investigation into Loudoun County Public Schools in response to a complaint he filed against the school district in January.
The assault, which took place in May 2021, was a focal point of a school board meeting the following month that saw the victim's father arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct. The perpetrating student was transferred to another high school, where he committed a second assault in October 2021 before he was arrested and sentenced to a locked residency program at a mental health institution.
Former LCPS Superintendent Scott Ziegler was indicted by the grand jury on state misdemeanor charges, and the district's Public Information Officer Wayde Byard was indicted on a perjury charge.
