The Fairfax County School Board faced backlash from parents during its first meeting after Hayfield Secondary School was banned from football playoffs for allegedly recruiting 31 student-athletes illegally. Despite exhausting appeals, parents filed a lawsuit to overturn the ban and demanded an apology from the superintendent.
