As a school board member, Levay said, Maloney has greater authority to enter schools than the general public would. Though Maloney is a school board member — on the board that oversees Briar Woods High — Kowalski said organizers were permitted to eject her from the public high school because it was a private event. A Loudoun County School Board member was arrested at a rally for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign at a local high school this week after police said she cut in line and then refused to leave when organizers revoked her ticket.. He said he had been told she was blocking the entrance to the school, not allegedly cutting in line. Though Joy Maloney (Broad Run) opposes Trump, she said she wanted to attend the event Tuesday at Briar Woods High School in Ashburn, Va. to understand the support he has generated.
