Fayette Schools Places Superintendent Demetrus Liggins on Paid Leave as State Auditor Reviews Finances

Summary
Demetrus Liggins began his first full day on paid administrative leave as the Fayette County school board reviews his employment amid the district’s financial fallout.
The board said the leave follows standard personnel practice, but it cannot discuss details because the matter involves personnel issues and possible legal considerations.
State scrutiny is already underway: Kentucky’s auditor is conducting a special examination of district finances, and the Kentucky Department of Education is providing technical assistance.
The move follows earlier finance-related leave actions, including former budget director Ann Sampson Grimes last summer and two other finance administrators placed on paid leave in April.
