New developments in the controversies enveloping the loudoun county school district first and independent report into how the school system two sexual assaults by the same student that report will not be released by the school board. It happened during a tense board beating last night with 6 of the 9 members voting against releasing those findings, citing attorney client privilege and student privacy. Among them, chairman Ian. Waving attorney client privileges fraught with pitfalls, which is why it is done exceedingly rarely. Being open and transparent is incredibly important, but so is the rights of our students and staff to be able to communicate with legal counsel without it being made public. School board member Tiffany Politico argued for the report's release. To continue to bury the truth in what occurred throughout the horrific sexual assault in 2021, does not demonstrate justice, integrity, or service. It exudes self preservation. The board commissioned its report in 2021 after a student was accused of two sexual assaults at two different schools. That boy was later convicted in juvenile court in order to stay in a treatment facility until he turns 18. Meantime, former loudoun schools superintendent Scott ziegler and suspended school spokesman wade bayard are under indictment by a special grand jury in connection with those sexual assaults. Bayern faces the felony charge of perjury and his attorney says he can not get a fair trial in loudoun county. It's a story you're hearing first on WTO.

That's the claim of bayard's lawyer Jennifer loeffler, from the day youngkin took office, they've referred to loudon residents as being victims of a cover up and that their children were at risk since bayard is the school spokesman. She says that suggests he personally failed to inform parents of the alleged assault. The lawyer says Virginia law demands that jurors not have a stake in the case they're hearing, she's asking bayard's trial be heard in fairfax county. Neil Logan stain WTO P nos.
