Overview

• Families’ attorney says LCPS found two Stone Bridge High students responsible for sexual harassment and sex-based discrimination, issuing 10‑day suspensions, no‑contact orders, and a corrective action plan after a Title IX probe.
• The students were recorded in the boys’ locker room by a transgender-identifying peer; local reports say the student who filmed received a brief in‑school suspension, while LCPS declined to discuss student discipline and said Title IX cases face a high evidentiary bar.
• The Loudoun County School Board voted 6–3 this week to keep Policy 8040, which allows students to use facilities corresponding to their consistently asserted gender identity.
• The Education Department said Tuesday it is starting administrative proceedings to suspend or terminate federal aid to five Northern Virginia districts, placing them on reimbursement and “high‑risk” status after they refused to rescind transgender‑supportive policies.
• Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares referred Loudoun’s handling of the locker‑room case to federal authorities, calling the district’s Title IX process a misuse of authority in an official statement.
