Attorney General Jason S. Miyares is asking that a hearing in a lawsuit filed by the Loudoun school board challenging the work of a special grand jury he convened remain closed to the public.

The hearing comes as part of a suit the Loudoun school board has filed seeking to halt the work of a special grand jury convened in Miyares’s investigation into the Northern Virginia school district’s handling of a pair of sexual assaults by a high school student. That case has generated significant controversy and criticism for the school district, which transferred the student after his first sexual assault to a second campus, where he committed a second.

The hearing, meant to be open to the public, is scheduled for next week. Its purpose is unknown: Attorneys are scheduled to discuss “sealed filings” that have so far been kept from the public record by the joint agreement of both parties to the suit.In a court filing Tuesday, Assistant Attorney General Thomas J. Sanford asked that that hearing be closed because “public access … would play a negative role.

Asked for comment Friday, Miyares spokeswoman Victoria LaCivita said, “The brief speaks for itself.” Loudoun schools spokesman Wayde Byard declined to answer questions Friday, writing in an email that “Loudoun County Public Schools does not comment on pending litigation.”
