The firing came one day after a grand jury released a report blasting the school board for its misconduct surrounding two sexual assaults by the same person in Loudoun County schools.

Ziegler did get one big break from the board: He was terminated “without cause,” which means he will receive a golden parachute on his way out of the job worth about $350,000, according to Loudoun Now. That includes his $323,000 salary plus a $12,000 annual vehicle allowance along with health insurance and retirement benefits.
