How Is Nick Cottone Still Principal of Seneca Ridge Middle School? #LCPS #SMRS #LCSO #LoudounCounty #LoudounCountyGovernment #USDOE #Corruption

Since Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) believe it is above the law and can wontonlly violate any Federal and State Law it wishes, I am now forced to expose the fraudulent activity of its employees and fireable offenses they have committed against me.  

The allegations and assertions below tie directly to a previous post that outlines the inappropriate contact Nick Cottone had with my minor child in February 2026:

Below, I present the administrative fraud and material misrepresentations made by Principal Nick Cottone of Seneca Ridge Middle School. 

Mr. Cottone has exhibited a pattern of behavior whereby he uses his position as Principal to seek out and establish inappropriate relationships with single mothers. Mr. Cottone then in exchange for the inappropriate relationship utilizes his Principal powers to eradicate and impinge upon the divorced male parent's joint custodial rights. Mr. Cottone is running a cottage industry whereby he sells the power of his position for favors in order to settle private civil vendettas and have divorced dads completely removed from their children's lives.
