The special grand jury issued indictments against the former superintendent on June 14 and September 28 for offenses that allegedly happened June 7 and June 22.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Byard was charged with a count of felony perjury.

The male student was then transferred to another school where he forced a female student into an empty classroom and sexually assaulted her. Obviously, if the first case of sexual assault had been properly handled, the second case would not have happened.<\/p>\n<p>The article concludes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>\u201cThere were several decision points for senior LCPS administrators, up to and including the superintendent, to be transparent and step in and alter the sequence of events leading up to the October 6, 2021 BRHS sexual assault,\u201d the grand jury report reads. \u201cThey failed at every juncture.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>The grand jury found the second assault \u201ccould have, and should have, been prevented.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>The initial assault in the girls bathroom drew attention to the district\u2019s policy of allowing transgender students to access bathrooms and locker rooms that align with \u201ctheir consistently asserted gender identity.\u201d The policy was not officially adopted until shortly after the alleged bathroom assault.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>The victim\u2019s father spoke out against the policy at a school board meeting, where\u00a0he was told there was no record of a sexual assault occurring in the bathroom. The father was forcibly escorted out of the meeting by police.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s up to parents to protect their children.
