LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Fayette County Public Schools board has rejected settlement offers from Superintendent Demetrus Liggins, according to WUKY 91.3 FM, as ongoing tensions between the district’s leadership continue to escalate.

The board’s rejection of Liggins’ settlement proposals marks the latest development in what has become a contentious relationship between the superintendent and the school board. The nature of the proposed settlements and the specific grounds for rejection were not detailed in the report.

The conflict also prompted the retirement of the district’s accounting officer, though additional details about the retirement and any connection to the board-superintendent disputes were not immediately available.

Liggins has served as superintendent of the Fayette County Public Schools, Kentucky’s second-largest school district. The ongoing friction between the superintendent’s office and the board reflects broader governance challenges that have attracted attention from both district staff and community members.

The rejections suggest the board and superintendent remain at an impasse on key issues, raising questions about the district’s administrative stability and future direction. Further details about the nature of the settlement offers and the accounting officer’s retirement are expected as the situation develops.
