A three-hour program on child sexual abuse will be presented this fall to fifth graders in three Loudoun schools.
The Loudoun County School Board unanimously approved the pilot project this month and the curriculum which was developed jointly by school administrators and the Loudoun County Sexual Abuse Team.
The team was formed last summer by agencies which handle cases of child sexual abuse. Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Jack T. Sutor Jr., Sheriff John R. Isom, Dr. Frances A. Goldman of the Mental Health Center and Ann VanDeventer of Child Protective Services are coordinating the agencies’ efforts in this increasing problem.
In 1984, on average a new child sexual abuse case was reported in Loudoun about every other week. Now, the reports are rising in number.
Child Protective Services received 14 new cases to investigate in April this year, VanDeventer said.
Loudoun supervisors
to discuss priorities
The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors agreed unanimously to meet June 10 with its county administrator to discuss each’s role in running the county government.
The meeting was suggested by Board Chairman Frank Raflo (D-Leesburg), who apparently isn’t pleased with the roles and responsibilities that the board and staff now have.
Raflo initially suggested that the meeting be held at the Xerox Training Center, but Supervisor Thomas S. Dodson (D-Mercer) suggested that might not look good, since Xerox has a major rezoning application pending before the county.
So the board will use its own conference room in the County Administration Building in Leesburg. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m.
Although he hasn’t given specific examples, Raflo has said generally that he is concerned that the board of supervisors isn’t playing enough of a role in running the government and is delegating too much authority to staff.
