The Department of Education (ED) has opened an investigation into whether Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) failed to respond appropriately to two reports of sexual assault as required under the provisions of Title IX.
The federal civil rights probe is the result of a letter (pdf) from the America First Legal Foundation (AFLF) that was sent to the ED’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) on Jan. 18 regarding concerns over the school division’s failure to respond to students’ reports of sexual assault as required by Title IX, according to a letter (pdf) sent to AFLF senior adviser Ian Prior that was reviewed by NTD News.
