LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — On Tuesday, Ann Sampson-Grimes, the Fayette County Public Schools executive director of budgeting and financial planning and her attorney, Brandon Voelker, filed a lawsuit for alleged employee discrimination against the FCPS superintendent, the board and the district.

It comes nearly a month after Sampson-Grimes was placed on administrative leave by the district.

"I think it's the person who was there by board policy was charged with telling you, 'Hey, you're revenue is not what you think it's going to be," Voelker said. "Or you're spending more than you can spend and basically because I think that the leadership did not like those answers and wanted to keep spending. That they basically silenced her."

The lawsuit comes weeks after multiple FCPS budget meetings
