Federal Judge, DOE Issue Orders Supporting Suspended LCPS Students in Title IX Case
The temporary court order allows a student suspended for objecting to a girl in the boys' locker room to resume in-person classes, with a hearing set to review the suspension further.
- Granting a motion filed by America First Legal and the Founding Freedoms Law Center, the court ordered Loudoun County Public Schools to place S.W.'s suspension in abeyance and permit his return on Wednesday, September 17, 2025.
- Earlier this year, LCPS opened a Title IX investigation after three boys complained about a female student who identifies as male using the boys' locker room, and the Department of Education gave LCPS ten days to rescind suspensions.
- Citing unequal treatment, the court noted a private changing area was offered to the boys but not to the female student and found keeping the boy suspended for 10 days risks irreparable harm.
- A hearing is set for Friday in the Alexandria Division of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia to consider a preliminary injunction, while Loudoun County Public Schools remains on a federal high-risk list that could affect funding.
- The lawsuit seeks to have the Title IX charges dropped and the suspensions ended, demanding compensation for emotional, reputational, and educational harm while AFL and FFLC argue it raises broader parental rights and school policy questions.
