THE PINCER MOVEMENT: How LCPS Bypassed Parental Consent to Facilitate Principal-Level Targeting #QLIK #LCPS #LCSO #LoudounCountyVA #LoudounCountyGovernment #LoudounCountyCourt

  THE PINCER MOVEMENT: How LCPS Bypassed Parental Consent to Facilitate Principal-Level Targeting DATE: February 17, 2026 Last week, a series of events occurred within Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) that should alarm every parent concerned with civil rights, data integrity, and the safety of students with disabilities. What began as a formal legal request for an Administrative Stay ended in the unauthorized transportation of my son, Charles Rubis, and a targeted interaction with a Principal at the center of a federal whistleblower disclosure. The "Information Blockade" and the Scrubbed Record On Monday, February 9, 2026, at 8:00 AM , I served LCPS Leadership, including the Principals of Lowes Island Elementary and Seneca Ridge Middle School, with a formal Revocation of Consent to Transport and an Administrative Stay on all transition activities. Later that evening, I filed a formal Federal Office for Civil Rights (OCR) Complaint and a VDOE Special Education Complain...

The Ghost in the Machine: Data Deletion, Vendor Bias, and the LCPS Conflict of Interest #QLIK #LCPS #LCSO #LoudounCountyVA #LoudounCountyGovernment #LoudounCountyCourt

The Ghost in the Machine: Data Deletion, Vendor Bias, and the LCPS Conflict of Interest The Narrative: Today, Friday the 13th, the "Digital Blockade" at Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) took a turn from the administrative to the corporate. At 11:05 AM, the District sent a mass notification admitting that they are currently "extracting and deleting" student data across their systems and the Qlik data platform. For most families, this sounds like a technical update. For a whistleblower and investigative publisher, it is a forensic red flag. The Vendor Conflict The engine behind this data extraction is Qlik —a company I know intimately as a former employee. But the relationship is more than just professional history; it is adversarial. I have documented proof that Qlik previously coordinated with my ex-wife’s counsel, Lindsay Mohler and the firm Troxel Leigh P.C. , to misrepresent my departure from the firm. This coordination was designed to facilitate a legal ...

PUBLIC RECORD: THE DIGITAL BLOCKADE Forensic Timeline of Institutional Retaliation and Record Suppression Date: February 13, 2026 Author: Steven Rubis, Investigative Publisher ( nickcottone.blogspot.com ) Subject: Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) Administrative Conduct EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This document serves as a formal public record of a coordinated "Digital Blockade" implemented by Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) against a joint-custodial parent and whistleblower. Within a 72-hour window, the District has transitioned from standard administrative friction to the manual suppression of safety-critical educational records during a high-stakes school transition.

LCPS Status Update - Digital Blockade and Missing Records #LCPS #LCSO #LoudounCountyVA #LoudounCountyGovernment #LoudounCountyCourt

  LCPS Status Update - Digital Blockade and Missing Records By Steven Rubis | February 10, 2026 I am providing an update on the "Digital Blockade" enacted by Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) regarding my son Charles’s records. Yesterday, I was completely locked out of the Virginia IEP portal. This morning, my access was partially restored, but the folder has been scrubbed. When I log in and click the "Documents" tab, I can only see a progress report from 11/7/25 and a new one from 2/9/26. Everything else—every IEP, evaluation, and legal document dating back to 2022—is missing. The Multi-Year Pattern of Exclusion This is not a technical glitch. It is part of a three-year pattern where LCPS has willfully ignored my joint legal custody rights. I have notified LCPS on numerous occasions in 2023, 2024, and 2025 that the other parent refuses to provide me with school information. Despite my Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA)—which was drafted by Lindsay Mohler of Trox...

Digital Blockade & Federal Intervention The 12-Hour Retaliation Cycle at LCPS By Steven Rubis | February 9, 2026 Today began with a formal notification to Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) leadership regarding administrative fraud and physical intimidation surrounding the unconsented transition of my son, Charles, to Seneca Ridge Middle School (SRMS). What followed was a 12-hour masterclass in bureaucratic retaliation: a digital lockout, ignored pleas for records, and a forced escalation to federal authorities. The 8:00 AM "Strike": Whistleblower Disclosure At 8:00 AM, I served a formal "Notice of Willful Misconduct" to Superintendent Dr. Aaron Spence and LCPS Legal. The notice detailed allegations against SRMS Principal Nick Cottone and private counsel Lindsay Mohler. I formally revoked consent for the SRMS transition, citing safety and fraud concerns. 9:18 AM: The Discovery of the Digital Blockade The retaliation was near-instant. By 9:15 AM, I discovered t...
