A 10-page report produced by Ashland-based Van Antwerp Attorneys and obtained by WKYT says Liggins engaged in a calculated effort to "discourage and intimidate" Kentucky State Representative Adrielle Camuel, who also works for the school district.
Security footage shows Liggins sliding the document in question under Camuel's door and dropping copies in other locations around the district offices. The report concluded that Liggins left the documents with the goal of silencing the lawmaker, who had voiced criticisms of the district.
Camuel sounded skeptical of Liggins' ability continue leading the district during testimony in Frankfurt in 2025.
"I don't know how you regain the trust. I don't know how you fix the damage that's done to the community," she said. "We need the families in Fayette County Public Schools and across the state to have faith and believe in and support our public schools."
On Monday, School Board Chair Tyler Murphy had said the district was working on some necessary redactions before releasing the report. As for the contents, he kept his comments brief.
"I think the report will speak for itself. I don't want to get out ahead of that," he told reporters.
Liggins has said he was delivering communications to employees affected by a round of layoffs, and the printed email placed under Camuel's door was the result of an accident.
The investigation found the claim "challenging to accept as legitimate."
The report comes just days after the school board formally accepted Liggins' retirement.
