MASTER COVER LETTER TO THE U.S. HOUSE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION & THE WORKFORCE
VIA E-MAIL and USPS CERTIFIED MAIL (RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED)
TO: Members of the U.S. House Committee on Education & the Workforce
FROM: Steven Rubis (Joint Legal Custodian, LCPS Parent)
DATE: May 29, 2026
SUBJECT: FORMAL SUBMISSION OF FORENSIC EVIDENCE OF SYSTEMIC CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATIONS, FEDERAL MAIL FRAUD, AND CORRUPT EVIDENCE SUPPRESSION BY SUPERINTENDENT DR. AARON SPENCE (LCPS)
Dear Chairperson and Members of the Committee,
In anticipation of Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) Superintendent Dr. Aaron Spence testifying before this Committee on June 10, 2026, I am formally submitting this letter and the attached Master Forensic Appendix to be entered permanently into the official federal record of this hearing.
While Dr. Spence intends to testify regarding an "extraordinary environment" and "strong partnerships with families," the enclosed, uncontradicted documentation—which includes multiple corporate communications directly involving Dr. Spence—exposes a weaponized, multi-year apparatus of Aggravated Retaliation, Administrative Fraud, and the corrupt utilization of public police power to execute an illicit private legal agenda.
On May 12, 2026, Dr. Spence issued a community-wide broadcast dismissively characterizing these grave statutory and constitutional violations as "distractions." This submission serves to forensically impeach his upcoming testimony by establishing the following explicit federal and constitutional violations:
1. Title II of the ADA & Section 504: Aggravated Civil Rights Retaliation
The temporal nexus established in Exhibit A is ironclad. On February 24, 2026, at 4:28 PM, the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) Office of Dispute Resolution and Administrative Services (ODRAS) issued a formal notice highly encouraging both parties to enter state-sponsored mediation. Exactly 16 hours later, on February 25, 2026, at 8:32 AM, LCPS Safety Director John Clark issued a criminal No-Trespass Order (NTO). This "Circular Retaliation" was deployed under the direct supervision of Dr. Spence to willfully obstruct a state-administered civil rights resolution process and criminalize my protected whistleblowing activity.
2. 18 U.S.C. § 1341: Federal Mail Fraud and Evidence Suppression
As documented in Exhibit A, LCPS utilized the United States Postal Service to execute and enforce a bad-faith NTO built upon an entirely manufactured "security threat" pretext.
- The Strategic Window of the One-Year Ban: The District’s imposition of an arbitrary one-year ban on my physical and digital presence serves no legitimate safety function. Forensically, it represents a calculated tactical timeline designed specifically to block me from retrieving the massive mounds of evidence LCPS has already identified via my completed FOIA requests.
- The Triad of Protection: This digital blockade was executed to accomplish three clear objectives: first, to protect private attorney Lindsay Mohler (Troxell Leigh P.C.) from the exposure of her extrajudicial October 2023 coordination with law enforcement; second, to shield state and federal vendor QlikTech, Inc. (Qlik) from public auditing and whistleblower disclosures; and third, to purposefully prevent me from obtaining the official documents necessary to contradict and impeach Dr. Spence’s testimony before this Congressional Committee on June 10, 2026.
- The Larceny Mechanism: By criminalizing my access to the digital portals required to download these files, the District has engaged in Larceny by Trick (Va. Code § 18.2-178), withholding 1,141+ paid FOIA records ($559.70) under a fraudulent security guise.
- Absence of Due Process: Lastly, no lawful action occurred to justify the issuance of the No-Trespass order. LCPS simply issued me a letter claiming I was a threat and stripped away my parental rights without any form of due process or judicial oversight.
3. 18 U.S.C. § 241 & 42 U.S.C. § 1983: Premeditated Conspiracy Under Color of Law
Exhibit B (Troxell Leigh P.C. Certified Billing Ledger) reveals that this conspiracy was engineered long before any legal or safety predicate existed.
- The Chronological Nexus of Whistleblowing: On October 9, 2023, I filed for an emergency order of protection against my ex-wife, followed by a formal hearing for a restraining order in Loudoun County Court on October 11, 2023. Concurrently, I initiated formal HRTD workforce and Title IX complaints against complicit LCPS employees.
- The Retaliatory Safety Pretext: Immediately following these protected filings, LCPS launched a coordinated campaign to brand me as a "safety threat" to mask their own administrative exposure. While the local court initially denied the restraining order due to a lack of service, a May 9, 2025, email admission from my ex-wife explicitly confirmed the exact stalking and criminal tracking conduct I had originally reported (Exhibit E).
- The Lack of Lawful Predicate: On October 24–25, 2023, private attorney Lindsay Mohler and her associate Gareth Bowen billed for active, direct coordination with Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) Officer Tim Iversen to construct a legal "fishing expedition." No legal action was filed against me until late November 2023, and no service occurred until December 8, 2023.
- Administrative Fraud: During this exact window, Principal Nick Cottone formally represented to LCPS leadership that he had no knowledge of me or my family. Exhibit B documents that by October 26, 2023, Cottone was actively acting as a covert state-actor proxy, retrieving internal school data to assist private counsel in building a "Rule to Show Cause."
- The Extrajudicial "Show of Force": This public-private collusion culminated on December 12, 2023, in an extrajudicial "Show of Force" telephone interrogation by Officer Iversen, who admitted on the record that no criminal predicate existed for his actions. This abuse of police power was executed solely to intimidate me into withdrawing my lawful reports of stalking and child abuse—criminal acts that the perpetrator explicitly admitted to in writing in May 2025 (Exhibit E).
4. De Facto Administrative Waiver and Entrapment
The fraudulent nature of the "security threat" used to bar me from my children's education is exposed by the District's own subsequent electronic actions (Exhibit A). Since issuing the criminal ban, LCPS has sent six distinct digital and physical solicitations demanding my physical and financial presence on school grounds. This culminated on May 6, 2026, when Cheryl Shotwell formally invited me to serve as a Career Day Volunteer to lead classroom lessons for fourth and fifth-grade minor students. The District cannot legally classify a parent as a criminal threat while simultaneously soliciting that same parent to supervise classrooms of minor children. This constitutes a total administrative waiver of the NTO's safety predicate and a bad-faith attempt at administrative entrapment.
5. Complete Absence of Legal Predicate and Total Denial of Due Process
The enclosed forensic record exposes that the NTO is an entirely arbitrary, extrajudicial instrument engineered outside the bounds of any court or legal action.
- Zero Judicial Predicate: There is no court order, injunction, or legal ruling in existence—past or present—that justifies, mandates, or supports the issuance of this criminal ban. The school system simply drafted a letter, deployed the federal mail system, and demanded compliance under threat of a criminal misdemeanor.
- Unbroken Joint Legal Custody Standing: No legal action, past or present, has ever altered, restricted, or affected my standing as the Joint Legal Custodian of my children. LCPS has unilaterally revoked parental rights that are legally secured by a standing court order, doing so without a single judicial proceeding or lawful justification.
- The Sham Appeal System and Administrative Stonewalling: In an effort to seek a lawful resolution, I engaged the internal LCPS administrative appeal process. My initial appeal was subjected to a predetermined rejection. Subsequently, I have sent 24 distinct forensic appeal requests detailing these systemic statutory violations, and the LCPS administration under Dr. Spence has flat-out ignored every single communication. This total administrative stonewalling confirms that the District’s internal due process mechanism is a complete fraud designed to permanently insulate corrupt administrators from accountability. I believe their avoidance of my appeals is a deliberate attempt to prevent me from obtaining records that would contradict Dr. Spence’s upcoming testimony in front of Congress.
6. Administrative Acquiescence, Failure to Refute, and Retaliatory Criminalization
The enclosed forensic record exposes a systemic pattern of administrative cowardice and a total failure by LCPS to defend its actions under the color of law.
- Admission Via Silence: Throughout the multi-year history of my formal notifications, complaints, and appeals, LCPS has never once officially refuted, disputed, or legally disproved any of the factual allegations of administrative fraud, child abuse, or state-actor collusion documented herein. Their failure to deny these documented forensic facts constitutes a de facto administrative admission of their validity.
- The "Resolved" Pretext: The sole boilerplate narrative the District has offered is the dismissive claim that I am writing to them about "issues that have already been resolved." I have repeatedly and formally informed the administration that I do not agree, as the systemic violations remain uncorrected, my children's rights continue to be compromised, and the records I paid for remain withheld.
- Criminalization as a Substitute for Defense: Because LCPS cannot legally or factually defend the conduct of Nick Cottone, John Clark, private attorney Lindsay Mohler, or QlikTech, Inc. (Qlik), their explicit operational response has been to weaponize police power to bypass the law entirely. They have chosen to explicitly strip my parental rights and explicitly silence a whistleblower through targeted, bad-faith criminalization.
FORMAL MANDATES AND REQUESTS TO THE COMMITTEE:
- Permanent Entry into the Federal Record: I request that this letter and the attached five-part Master Forensic Appendix (including email records, certified billing transcripts, and confessions) be accepted into the permanent record of this hearing.
- Federal Funding Audit and Inquiry of LCPS: I request that the Committee launch an immediate inquiry into LCPS’s allocation of federal educational funds, specifically investigating whether public funds are being diverted to protect private legal actors (Troxell Leigh P.C.) engaged in the suppression of parental civil rights and FOIA concealment.
- Federal Audit and Investigation of QlikTech, Inc. (Qlik): I request that the Committee launch a formal funding audit and compliance investigation into state and federal vendor QlikTech, Inc. (Qlik). The forensic record establishes that the police-enforced "Digital Blockade" deployed against me by LCPS was weaponized specifically to shield and protect this contractor from active whistleblower auditing and public disclosures regarding corporate-state collusion.
- Sworn Witness Testimony: I formally proffer my availability to provide sworn, public testimony before this Committee to detail the precise operational mechanics of inter-agency FOIA obstruction, mail fraud, and state-actor collusion deployed by Dr. Aaron Spence’s administration.
A Superintendent who responds to documented federal civil rights violations and the weaponization of law enforcement by calling them "distractions" while actively deploying police power to suppress evidence is deceiving this Committee. I trust the Committee will hold Dr. Spence strictly accountable to the objective forensic trail enclosed.
Sincerely,
Steven Rubis
