Kimberly Mimms went in front of the Board to discuss a series of events that started in February. She reported confidentially to the Principal that a teacher was bringing her toddler to class and interrupting class activities. The Principal then told this to the teacher and both bullied, intimidated, and retaliated against the daughter of Kimberly Mimms. They affected her grades and ignored her complaints to the point where her daughter had to be taken out of the class, school, and eventually the school district for her own safety. Kimberly Mimms then wondered if other events such as this had happened before and wanted an investigation, which never happened. In fact, school officials denied it ever happened after Kimberly preceded to file numerous complaints against the school officials in charge involved in the mistreatment unsafe, unequal, unfair educational environment to her daughter.

Mr. Nicks presents concerns “related to the district's long standing practice of reimbursing the district for the cost of substitutes...” Dr. Hubbard gave the reason soon afterwards.

Kimberly Mimms comes back and restates the events that occurred in February 2011 that concerned the fifth grade teacher bringing her baby/toddler to class for months and proceeded to mistreat Kimberly Mimms child with retaliation from school officials not protecting her daughter. After filing numerous complaints and claims for months, the school continued to ignore the Mimms family. When Kimberly Mimms wanted school files concerning her daughter, the school withheld and purged important documents.
Susan Astarita, Assistant Superintendent, was acknowledged by Kimberly on how a school policy was violated and how she responded by protecting the teacher and changing school policies allowing to bring their children which was unheard of from the department of education. It was surprising to learn how the school violation was known to Susan months prior by emails from Kimberly starting from March 30, 2011 and changed protecting the people that violated their own school policies when Kimberly’s claim was denied. There was nepotism that allowed certain teachers to be protected by the board under Jeffrey Hubbard, Superintendents, and eventually drove out other teachers with false blame and retaliation.

Four speakers came to discuss their problems with the administration especially mentioning their shared voice on the ‘No Confidence in Jeffrey Hubbard’ vote. The first was a parent who was angry at how the administrators seem to be using the funding for themselves and not for the children in schools. Another was a woman who spoke about the ‘No Confidence’ vote and presented the results of a secret ballot of teachers that support the vote. Then a man continued the issue by stating Jeffrey Hubbard “exhibited a history of showing favoritism with certain administrators and setting a low standard of conduct for all students and employees” and is unfit for work. The last person was a teacher who called for funding equality for schools within the district and mentions her support of ‘No Confidence in Hubbard.’

This recording on December 13, 2011 of the NMUSD meeting was originally edited out to silence the public comment section. They eventually re released the copy two months later before and after the trial of past-Superintendent Jeffrey Hubbard who was criminally charge by the Beverly Hills Unified School District trial. Kimberly Mimms returns to talk about the bullying, intimidation, fear, mistreatment of her child by a teacher and principal with the Newport Mesa School District. She then speaks about how some teachers were also mistreated by others working in the school and district. It seems nothing has been done about any of the concerns that Kimberly Mimms have brought up and expresses her lack of trust for the district and pattern of behavior of school violations, laws broken to her family and others. Kimberly expressed this happened years ago when her child was in second grade and reported not allowed to go to the water fountain and bathroom due to food poisoning. Complaints were filed through emails to Jeffrey Hubbard, Susan Astarita, and communicating with Bonnie Swan by phone. It would be important for Kimberly Mimms and others to request under the California Public Records Act (CPRA) to find out why they did not protect a seven year old during that time period from the retaliation from the school period. Kimberly served a verbal notice to Jeffery Hubbard and Walt Davenport for not keeping her child safe years ago and now.

Kimberly Mimms starts her speech to the board about her concern for Hubbard and his unlawful practices that he was criminalized for on January 12, 2012. She then restates that the board take a look at her daughter’s case and expresses that she wants to work with them instead of against them. She calls that an investigation be taken and see the evidence that Kimberly Mimms has provided. After the meeting, Kimberly found that her claims were taken apart by an unknown in the district.

Karyl Ketchum talks to the board about how three male athletes threatened to rape and shoot her daughter by a Facebook video and that no punishment was given to the boys. She demands that they look at the matter and stop cyber bullying in their schools. She would later win her case and now schools have to take classes about sexism, homophobia, and bullying.

Lastly, a man talks about how Jeffrey Hubbard has finally been criminalized for his actions and that the board learn from his mistakes. He feels they have taken the first step in the right direction; however, they still need to do more to gain back the trust of the people within the district.

A year has passed from the incident with the school’s mistreatment of Kimberly Mimms daughter and nothing has been done by the school board. She tells about how the teacher would manipulate the feelings of the students to feel sorry for her and against Kimberly Mimms daughter for reporting about her breaking school policies. She still wants an investigation into the matter but the board always seem to deny her request. She even left her claim and evidence there because her claim was taken apart before. However, they did not take them and gave them a look.

Kimberly Mimms comes back to talk about the issues that occurred to her daughter and the bullying that exist in schools.

In her first speech, Kimberly Mimms continues to speak about equal education and the bullying problems that exist in the schools. She compliments the board for making changes to the complaint process as it have been made easier. Kimberly wonders what she asked in the beginning, over a year ago, why the complaint claim process was not given to her clearly and avoided and changed their procedures numerous times. In addition, Kimberly found out many months later that in the lawsuit with Mrs. Ketchum, it was mandatory to have a complaint claim process easy for anyone to file and they were supposed to train all their staff on school policies, to protect a student, families, and others under the law. She wants the board to continue with the changes and work towards a better future.

In her second speech, Kimberly Mimms have some suggestions concerning the science camps and maybe start a fund. She is willing to give a donation but the board reassures her that might not be necessary as the final verdict on the science camps haven’t been set. As for the bullying problem, she wants to continue working with the district and see the new programs they plan to do.

Teachers, parents, and children are afraid to come forward and this should not be the case. She tells about the incident that occurred with her child and the fifth grade teacher bringing her baby/toddler to the class. What followed was retaliation from the teacher and made it unsafe for Kimberly to have her child attend school. Many teachers lost their jobs from coming forward in the complaint claim process and this should not be the case. There needs to be change so people can come forward and have an equal education.

Kimberly Mimms comes back and introduces bullyingwarrior that is setup to protect students, teachers, and families. She mentions the drug problem that exists at Corona Del Mar High School by hiding illegal substances in deodorant cans and wants them to look into the problem. Another problem is that a copy of a board meeting was edited taking out the public input area, but was later fixed. Lastly she questions why policies changed to protect certain teachers from breaking school policies.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbW-_jU8Qs4
In the second video, Kimberly begins with talking about a young male student at Costa Mesa High School who was charged with drinking at school. He did not drink any alcohol and even wanted to take a test to prove his innocence. However, he was denied and immediately found guilty and unable to graduate, lost scholarships, and cost him and his family thousands of dollars to graduate with his class. Police failed to protect him like several others especially Kimberly Mimms and Karyl Ketchum. She also mentions other students who deal with teachers that take favors to look the other way. She then shows the Board a voicemail from June 14, 2011 to Walt Davenport about Kimberly and her child’s situation at Newport Heights with Mrs. Ota and Dr. Suhr. Also in the voicemail, she talks about other parents, teachers, and children are coming forward to her and she speaks for their behalf. She tells that they are scared to come forward and she feels like she needs to for her family and others as well. When it was never investigated, all Board members and others running the school district covered it up. This will later cause more problems for her child as she was in more danger from school officials bullying her who were covering up school violations and fraud. Dave Brooks states that anyone could be doing the message from anywhere and doesn’t take it seriously. Lastly, she wants them to see how the complaints and claim process can be changed for the better.

Kimberly Mimms comes to speak to the Costa Mesa City Council to speak about the problems she faced when she came forward with her story. Under past-Superintendent Jeffrey Hubbard, there were nepotism-hiring practices and people were having a hard time coming forward.

In the second part, Kimberly Mimms once again mentions BullyingWarrior and its mission to inform the public and the board of bullying cases from students and from top school officials.
She likes how the board has taken a look at Bully, a 2011 documentary about bullying in U.S. schools, and taken ideas to prevent bullying in the district. There is also an anonymous drop box for bullying and that maybe third parties or non-biased agencies look through these. She wants them to revise and change the complaint claim process and also go through non-biased agencies or third parties. She also mentions that she has a received a call from the department of education in wanting to take a look at her past claims.
