Voters in Loudoun County, Virginia, elected an entirely new slate of school board members on Tuesday, closing the door on a tumultuous chapter for the school district that thrust the region into the national spotlight.
A Miyares-impaneled special grand jury ultimately indicted then-Superintendent Scott Ziegler on misdemeanor charges and issued a scathing report that blasted the school board for its handling of the situation. Erika Ogedegbe, who won a special election last year for the Leesburg district seat, lost her bid for a full term to independent Lauren Shernoff by 53%-46%. The other incumbent, Harris Mahedavi, is likely headed out the door after narrowly losing to Deana Griffiths in a race for the Ashburn district seat. The current margin of victory for Griffiths is less than 200 votes.
Griffiths' likely victory, along with Shernoff and LaBell, will give conservative candidates three seats on the board. Democratic-endorsed candidates secured the remaining six seats, ensuring that the liberal majority in place during the past four years endures for another four-year term.
