The new contract for Loudoun County‘s new superintendent, Dr. Aaron Spence, has been revealed, and it provides a generous contract that agrees to pay him an annual salary of $375,000.
For each year of his work as superintendent, he receives an additional $20,000 from the school board. His deal allows him an annual data and communications allowance of $1200 and transportation expenses of $1,000 per month, totaling $12,000 annually. Spence’s housing costs for six months will be covered at $4,000 a month, and an extra $7,500 will go to his moving costs.

Several parents were furious with the compensation package.
“Absolutely infuriating! I live in Loudoun county so my tax money are funding this shameful compensation package!” one social media user said.
“He officially makes MORE than the President of the United States ($400k). Reminder the Median salary of LCPS workers: $50,367,” Loudoun mother Aliscia Andrews said.
Last December, after media scrutiny and pressure from parents in Loudoun County, the Loudoun County School Board fired Superintendent Scott Ziegler for the school system’s response to two in-school sexual assaults by the same student in 2021. Ziegler has had his own legal troubles after his work as Loudoun superintendent. He was indicted on three misdemeanor counts, including one count of false publication, apparently relating to statements he made at a June 2021 school board meeting following the first assault. The other two misdemeanor counts are related to an allegation that he penalized an employee who testified before the grand jury.
Ziegler’s tenure oversaw a growing parent movement activated by school closings, extreme COVID-19 restrictions, masking, sexual assaults in schools, targeting of parents on private lists, and indoctrination of children.

Ziegler’s contract was reportedly a $323,000 annual salary and compensation, just slightly less than Spence’s contract. Despite being fired by the board, he is still being paid a full annual salary, health insurance, a vehicle allowance, and retirement benefits for next year after being fired by the board.
Spence is expected to start on Sept. 1 as the new superintendent of Loudoun County Public Schools.
