The school board voted 6-2 to approve Spence's candidacy. Spence takes over for Daniel Smith, who was appointed interim superintendent in December. Loudoun County Public Schools has been mired in controversy and scrutinized for the way it handled two in-school sexual assaults by the same student on different school campuses in 2021, which led to the firing of its superintendent.
