Loudoun School Board settles with boys who questioned why girl was in boys' locker room

Article here. Excerpt:

'The Loudoun County School Board settled with two male students who questioned why a female student was repeatedly using the boys’ locker room at Stone Bridge High School, according to court records.

The judge had ordered the Loudoun County School Board and the students to mediation. Court records show that a settlement was reached between the two parties.

Early last year, 7News was the first to report on how Loudoun County Public Schools investigated male students for Title IX sexual harassment after they questioned why a female student was using the boys’ locker room. The female student recorded the male students in the locker room, which is against school policy.

Despite calls from several parents to drop the investigation, the Loudoun County School Board pursued the Title IX investigation against the sophomore students and found two of the boys responsible for Title IX sexual harassment and discrimination.

The Title IX finding appeared on their student records as the high school students prepared to apply to college. And LCPS ordered the boys to serve 10 days of suspension earlier this school year.

The boys’ families sued the Loudoun County School Board in federal court seeking to stop the suspensions and to remove the Title IX violations from their sons’ academic records. With a settlement, the case has now concluded.'
