Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) in Virginia is investigating claims that staff at Centreville High School arranged abortions for students without parental notification. The allegations date back to 2021 and involve a 17-year-old student, according to local reports.

In a statement, FCPS acknowledged the seriousness of the allegations, saying, "We learned yesterday of these concerning allegations from 2021. We are launching an immediate and comprehensive investigation as we take all concerns of student wellbeing very seriously."

When asked if FCPS staff had ever facilitated abortions for students, the district responded, "Not to [our] knowledge. We have launched an immediate investigation into these concerns as soon as we were made aware."

FCPS policy encourages students who suspect they may be pregnant to discuss their concerns with their parents or guardians. However, the policy does not explicitly require staff to inform parents about such discussions.

Pro-life organizations have expressed strong reactions to the allegations. One group, 40 Days for Life, stated on social media, "A Fairfax high school secretly arranged and paid for student abortions—without telling parents. This isn’t 'healthcare.' It’s state-funded child exploitation. Every official involved must be held accountable."

The investigation is ongoing, and FCPS has not provided further comments at this time.
