For the parents of Loudoun County Public Schools, the swift and sudden downfall of former Superintendent Scott Ziegler was a vindication two years in the making.

Ziegler was unceremoniously fired last week by the Loudoun County School Board, hours after a special grand jury report detailed that he and other administrators had “failed at every juncture” in responding to two sexual assaults that took place in May and October 2021 in two separate high schools in the northern Virginia school district. And earlier this week, a judge ordered the unsealing of three misdemeanor criminal indictments against Ziegler.
