Hargis trial on hold during appeal

The civil trial of former school superintendent Fredericka Hargis vs. Crittenden County School Board has been delayed. It was scheduled to begin Monday, Sept. 14 in Crittenden Circuit Court.

The trial was postponed after a pre-trial hearing on Friday when Judge Steven Hayden denied a motion by the defendants for summary judgement. The defendant, Crittenden County School Board, will file an appeal to the Kentucky Court of Appeals.

The trial will be delayed until the appeals court renders a decision.
