Parents are accusing Virginia’s Loudoun County Schools<\/a> of “hiding something big” after the district’s board elected to withhold an independent report detailing information regarding sexual assault cases of two high school students, citing privacy concerns and attorney-client privilege.<\/p>\n

“Being open and transparent is incredibly important, but so is the rights of our students and staff,” school board member Ian Serotkin said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Board member Erika Ogedebe argued that, while transparency is “important,” releasing the report would only contribute to and prolong the “trauma of the victims.”<\/p>\n

She also argued that maintaining the students’ privacy takes precedent over releasing the report.<\/p>\n

On the contrary, Tiffany Polifko<\/a>, who ran as a parental rights candidate for the board last November, said the incident is “about justice, integrity and service.”<\/p>\n

“You can\u2019t have justice without truth,”\u00a0she added.<\/p>\n

The district, which landed in hot water for how it previously handled the assaults, came under fire yet again after the board’s 6-3 majority voted last Tuesday to keep the report private despite parents demanding the information go public for months.<\/p>\n

Board members Atoosa Reeser, Brenda Sheridan, Jeff Morse, Harris Mahedavi, Ian Serotkin and Erika Ogedegbe were the six who voted to withhold the report.<\/p>\n

Some members’ votes, including Ogedegbe’s, came contrary to their previous claims to support a potential release. Ogedegbe, however, urged caution with publishing private information about students in an October interview with Loudoun County’s 7News.<\/p>\n

Members Denise Corbo, Tiffany Polifko and John Beatty supported the report’s release.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m the father of the first sexual assault student<\/a>,” parent Scott Smith said during the meeting, “What are they hiding in there? What are they hiding? They are hiding something big.”<\/p>\n

Smith, walking out of the meeting, shouted at the board, “F—ing liars! What are you covering up? What?”<\/p>\n

He also slammed the district for its failure to keep children safe, urging other parents to keep their children out of the schools and called the board “corrupt.”<\/p>\n

The controversy stems from an incident in which a male student assaulted a female student in the girls’ restroom at one of Loudoun County’s high schools.<\/p>\n

The same student committed the second offense at another district high school later. He was later found guilty of the crimes in juvenile court and sentenced to supervised probation in a residential treatment facility.<\/p>\n

Loudoun County Schools continues in a long trail of scandals, being called out by the parental rights movement for allowing inappropriate materials in area schools, facing criticism over transgender bathroom policies and the sexual assault cover-up that spawned an investigation ordered by state Attorney General Jason Miyares.<\/p>\n
