LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - An investigator has been hired to look into Fayette County Public Schools Superintendent Demetrus Liggins.

According to the Lexington Herald-Leader , an independent investigator will look into allegations against Superintendent Liggins made by the Fayette County school budget director, whom he suspended.

On Wednesday, school board chairman Tyler Murphy sent Ann Sampson Grimes a letter saying the board had retained an attorney of the Vanantwerp law firm in Ashland to conduct an independent investigation.

The investigation will look into allegations in the August 27 letter from Grimes’s attorney, Brandon Voelker, that are directed against Liggins.
