Loudoun County Public Schools' DEI Chief On Administrative Leave

ASHBURN, VA – Loudoun County Public Schools’ assistant superintendent for diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility is on administrative leave.

Latisha Ellis-Williams, who has been the county school board’s DEI chief since 2023, is on administrative leave. An LCPS spokesperson confirmed the leave but would not comment further.

According to a report by Loudoun Now, Ellis-Williams has not been seen at a school board meeting since April 28.

The outlet reports that U.S. Congressman Randy Fine (R-FL) suggested in a letter to Superintendent Aaron Spence earlier in July that Ellis-Williams might be on leave because of an investigation into alleged financial misconduct. Spence testified before Congress in June.
