In Liggins' report card, so to speak, the head of the school district was applauded for his management of the budget, leadership in advancing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives, and expanding academic services for learners at all levels.
This is board chair Tyler Murphy following a closed door discussion about Liggins' evaluation.
"We appreciate your continued work and commitment to the district, and to every child in this district, and as a board team... we are committed to working in collaboration to continue to achieve education beyond expectation in Fayette County Public Schools.
The evaluation also highlighted room for improvement in several areas, including strengthening relationships and communication with the board, better public engagement, and encouraging a more streamlined, consistent review of data.

Liggins is under a four-year contract that provides $250,000 in base pay with the opportunity for merit raises and annual raises just like teachers.
Liggins' counterpart in Louisville, Jefferson County superintendent Marty Polio, recently received a large raise — nearly $75,000 — which drew some backlash from lawmakers who feel his salary is too high.
