Virginia wants to bar the public from hearing on Loudoun County schools lawsuit [View all]
Virginia wants to bar the public from hearing on Loudoun County schools lawsuit
By Ramsey Touchberry - The Washington Times - Friday, July 8, 2022
Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares has asked a county judge to prevent the public from attending a hearing this week on the Loudoun County Public School’s lawsuit to quash a grand jury probe into how school officials handled past cases of sexual misconduct.
Mr. Miyares argued in a filing that allowing the public access to the proceedings would expose portions of the grand jury that are typically secretive and taint the criminal investigation. ... “There is no First Amendment right of access to grand jury proceedings,” Mr. Miyares said in the filing.
The school board sued in May to halt the grand jury, which Mr. Miyares convened following an executive order from Gov. Glenn Youngkin.
School officials have argued the grand jury was convened unlawfully.
