ASHBURN, Va.—Loudoun County School Board (LCSB) voted on Tuesday night not to release an investigative report about how the school division handled two sexual assaults in May and October 2021. The board voted down the motion 6–3.

John Beatty, the board member who initiated the motion, said releasing the report was about “rebuilding trust” with the community and “not settling scores.”
