A federal judge set a $125,000 bond for parents to continue their legal fight against sexual harassment charges involving a transgender student, with fundraising nearing its goal.
- On Friday, 10 October, U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema ordered the parents of the students to post a $125,000 bond by October 15 to continue their federal challenge over sexual-harassment allegations.
- In May, Loudoun County Public Schools launched a Title IX probe into male students at Stone Bridge High School after a March incident involving a student assigned female at birth who identifies as male, and two male students were suspended for ten days.

- The district now faces claims of free speech and religious-discrimination violations tied to Title IX, Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares called it `misuse of authority`, and The Washington Post reported prior harassment of the alleged victim.
