La Junta Directiva de las Escuelas del Condado de Fayette votó el miércoles para colocar al Superintendente Dr. Demetrus Liggins en licencia administrativa pagada, y el Dr. Bill Bradford, Superintendente Asistente, fue nombrado inmediatamente como superintendente interino. El movimiento cuenta con el apoyo de miembros de la junta y padres de la comunidad, y Bradford asumirá el cargo para mantener la continuidad operativa del distrito que atiende a más de 39,000 estudiantes. La decisión de colocar a Liggins en licencia pagada en lugar de terminar su contrato sugiere que el asunto aún está bajo revisión, aunque no se han proporcionado detalles específicos sobre las razones de esta acción.

LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Fayette County School Board voted Wednesday to place Superintendent Dr. Demetrus Liggins on paid administrative leave, according to WUKY 91.3 FM. Assistant Superintendent Dr. Bill Bradford was immediately named acting superintendent following the board’s decision.
The move comes after what the station reported as garnering support from both board members and parents in the community. The action follows a period of leadership transitions within the district, as Fayette County Schools, the state’s second-largest school system serving more than 39,000 students, navigates administrative changes at the superintendent level.
Bradford, who held the position of assistant superintendent prior to his appointment, assumed the interim role to provide continuity in district operations. The board’s decision to place Liggins on paid leave rather than terminate his contract suggests the matter may still be under review or subject to further discussion.
The Fayette County School Board typically meets to address significant personnel matters, budget issues, and educational policies affecting the Lexington-area school system. The transition in leadership represents a significant development for the district during a critical time in the academic calendar.
Details regarding the specific reasons for Liggins’ placement on administrative leave were not provided in the initial reporting. The district has not made additional statements regarding the duration of the interim arrangement or next steps in the superintendent selection process.
