The Liggins Legacy lives on in the Kentucky Attorney General’s recent announcement of an open records violation by the Fayette County Public Schools.

In 26-ORD-376, the office decided that the omission of 13 position control documents — which track listed positions within the district along with accompanying salaries and were
referenced in 13 board meeting agendas — violated the open records law notwithstanding FCPS’s claim that “an oversight” occurred, “which culminated in the records listed in this category not being included” in its response.” On appeal, FCPS “confirmed that these records exist and should have been produced.”

https://www.ag.ky.gov/Resources/orom/2026/26-ORD-376.pdf

In other words, the requested records were there all along.

Although the factual narrative in 26-ORD-376 is skimpy, WKYT reports:

“Emails show that Fayette County Board of Education members requested the documents from Sept. 2023 to March 2025 so they could be part of each monthly meeting’s agenda.
In response to a May 2024 request, then Superintendent Dr. Demetrus Liggins responded to a board member’s request saying that the ‘report is quite labor intensive’ and that he did not want to burden the budget team.

“Liggins later said in an email that he would commit to getting the document but did not offer a timeline.”

https://www.wkyt.com/2026/09/24/kentucky-ag-rules-that-fcps-violated-open-records-laws-by-denying-board-requests-salary-list/

Board member Amanda Ferguson has shared — in utter exasperation and on a number of occasions — that Liggins either flatly rejected her requests for nonexempt public records relating to district finances, offered excuse after excuse for his inability to provide her with nonexempt public records relating to district finances, or failed to make good on his commitment to produce nonexempt public records relating to district finances.

Ferguson was ridiculed by Liggins and her fellow board members — including Chairman Tyler Murphy — for her persistent demands for nonexempt public records relating to district finances critical to responsible decision making. She met with continuing resistance over time, and the tone was set by the superintendent himself.

This, then, is the Liggins Legacy: A stubborn refusal to honor his professional and legal obligation to share information with board member Amanda Ferguson, and later board member Monica Mundy — that would have provided the early warning signs of imminent financial disaster — and what very much appears to have been a complicit board chairman and remaining board members.

Public trust was broken by revelations about this dysfunctional board and secretive superintendent. 26-ORD-376 is no doubt the tip of the iceberg — and one that reads fairly prosaically. The underlying factual background was anything but.

It remains to be seen whether the malleable Mr. Murphy, the three neglectful (or worse) board members , and most importantly, the school district will remain afloat or founder in their current configuration.

Elections lie ahead.
