The Loudoun County Public Schools in Virginia named its next superintendent, the current Virginia Beach Public schools superintendent, after the schools board's 6 to 2 vote.
Executive Director of Fight for Schools Ian Prior discusses the Loudoun County school board's decision to vote against releasing an internal report of their handling of two sexual assaults.in Virginia named Aaron Spence as the next superintendent on Friday, seven months after the district fired its superintendent amid allegations of mishandling sexual assault cases at two schools.
Spence takes the reins from Daniel Smith, who was appointed interim superintendent in December. Smith had taken over after superintendent Scott Ziegler was fired by the school board over a grand jury report accusing the district of failing to adequately respond to reports of sexual assault. During a school board meeting in June 2021, a father accused the district of covering up his daughter's sexual assault in which a biological boy wearing a skirt raped her in the girls' bathroom a month earlier. The father claimed the district attempted to cover up his daughter's assault to push its controversial transgender bathroom policy.
The report said LCPS displayed a"stunning lack of openness, transparency and accountability, both to the public and to the special grand jury" regarding its response to the sexual assaults. The report also criticized Ziegler for denying at the June 2021 school board meeting his knowledge of the first assault.
The U.S. Department of Education launched an investigation in April into the handling of the sexual assault cases at LCPS.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP
