Multiple financial deep-dives into broader concerns about the handling of a $16 million budget gap, district spending, and transparency issues last year remain underway.
On those matters, Superintendent Demetrous Liggins had little to add in a press availability this week with school leaders.
"We're participating and cooperating as much as they need us to, but both of those are still ongoing at this point," he said.
At the moment, more speculation is focused on an upcoming special meeting. It comes after an Ashland law firm completed an investigation into claims of district retaliation against Budget Director Ann Samson-Grimes over red flags she says she raised about the budget last year.
Although that probe found that Liggins did not "intentionally" withhold information about the school funds from the school board, it did find the superintendent failed both to properly engage in oversight and did not offer the board a full picture of the district's financial outlook.
As for the special meeting, Board Member Amanda Ferguson told WKYT the special meeting will be focused on how to move forward following the report.
FCPS is not offering details, however. In a statement, spokesperson Miranda Scully said the meeting will allow the board to "continue its discussion," adding that the district will "follow normal protocols."
Meanwhile, lawmakers in Frankfort are not waiting for the results of the FCPS audits or any action regarding Liggins to push forward reforms that call for more public access to information regarding local school district budgeting.
