Superintendent Ziegler was fired last week, and no charges had been levied against him at the time of his dismissal.
The Daily Wire’s Luke Rosiak first uncovered the story, and also joined Fox News host Laura Ingraham on her show last week to discuss the now-former Superintendent’s terrible track record in his previous role.
14 months ago, @lukerosiak uncovered Loudoun County's coverup of sexual assaults by a skirt-wearing boy, and a top official ordered staff to ignore his claims. Tonight, the Loudoun County School Board fired superintendent Scott Ziegler after a grand jury confirmed his reporting. pic.twitter.com/UHIXFhp3y5
