Support Dr. Brewer

Dr. John Brewer, the man who “opened” Dominion High School and has served as its one and only principal for the past 13 years, needs our help! He was placed on leave in December, 2016 and the Superintendent of Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) recommended Dr. Brewer’s termination. Based upon all available information, we found the Superintendent’s position to be unjustified and unwarranted and on March 20 the School Board agreed and voted to reinstate him as DHS Principal effective April 17, 2017!
Retaining his job required Dr. Brewer to vigorously defend his position, and he retained highly qualified counsel to represent him. That process included a two day hearing before a hearing officer hired by the County, which resulted in a recommendation to the School Board that there was no cause to terminate. His attorneys did a thorough and professional job in prevailing and have documented and discounted their fees to Dr. Brewer.
But for an individual to prevail against the County is difficult and time consuming and the fees will exceed $90,000. As a member of the National Association of Secondary School Principals, Dr. Brewer received $10,000 to offset his legal expenses so we are revising our goal to cover the remaining $80,000.
Our goal is to ease the financial burden Dr. Brewer and his family face in his successful bid to return to Dominion High School. We have established this GoFundMe account to allow his many supporters to help contribute to his legal defense fund. All money collected is being handled pro bono by an attorney on Dr. Brewer's behalf to provide complete accountability and transparency.
