Heads up! We have scanned the upcoming agenda for Loudoun County Public Schools. We found 3 items that need your immediate attention before the vote.
| HIGH CONCERN (LEVEL 8) |
|
Public Comment Limited to 10 Minutes Total
The committee is limiting the entire public comment period to a total of 10 minutes for all speakers combined. This severely restricts the ability of parents and community members to voice their concerns on important student issues.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND TO BE HEARD: Contact the Student Services Committee members (Jon Pepper, Kari LaBell, April Chandler) and the full School Board. ‘A 10-minute total limit on public comment, as stated in the procedure for the November 11 meeting under item 2.01, is an unacceptable restriction on parental rights. We demand you expand the public comment period to allow for meaningful community input.’ (Parents: find board member contact information on the district website).
💰 Impact: Suppressed Parent Voice

| MONITOR (LEVEL 5) |

Vague ‘Student Services’ Presentation – Manual Review Required
The committee will receive a ‘PowerPoint Presentation’ from the Assistant Superintendent of Student Services with no description of its content or a viewable file. This presentation could contain new initiatives, data, or policy proposals related to mental health, discipline, or other sensitive student services that parents need to know about before they are discussed.
Recommended Action Plan
INVESTIGATE: The agenda for Item 4.01 references a PowerPoint presentation that is not included in the public documents. Contact the District Office at 571-252-1200 and demand this presentation be posted publicly before the meeting so parents can review its contents.
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Initiatives

District Strengthens Student-Athlete Heart Health Protections
The district is reviewing Policy 8440, which ensures parents are informed annually about sudden cardiac arrest risks and requires schools to have detailed emergency plans, including accessible AEDs and trained staff. This is a positive step that prioritizes student safety and parental awareness in athletics.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THIS WIN: Contact the Student Services Committee members (Jon Pepper, Kari LaBell, April Chandler) to thank them for prioritizing student-athlete safety with Policy 8440. Publicly praise common-sense policies that protect our kids and keep parents informed, and use this as a model for other districts.
