FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. (7News) — Claims made by a Fairfax County, Virginia, teacher that a coworker had paid for student abortions without parental knowledge and covered it up have been deemed false, according to the results of an external investigation by Fairfax County Public Schools.
The results of the investigation were released in a 33-page document on Jan. 9 and shared with staff and families of Centreville High School the same day. The investigation, which began in October, was led by King and Spalding Law Firm.

Accusations from Centreville High School teacher Zenaida Perez sparked reactions on social media after she claimed that a school social worker arranged and paid for an abortion for a minor student in 2021. She added that the same social worker pressured another girl to get an abortion without the students’ parents’ knowledge, and that county school system and state officials had been made aware.
Investigators, however, said the social worker in question did not encourage, facilitate, or pay for the student abortions, nor did she try to cover up any allegations.
