Superintendent Clint Mitchell held a listening session on August 27 at Lee’s Hill Elementary. Mitchell was asked a question about the Gloria Jackson court case stemming from the Cedar Forest Elementary Child Abuse Scandal. The premise of the question provides insight into what actually occurred at Cedar Forest Elementary because it references what occurred in open court. We have that all captured in the video below.

Mitchell does not directly answer the question. That is interesting in itself. It potentially gives insight on how is handling this Miguel Velasquez Velasco abuse case. Here is the question that was asked, and Mitchell’s response all captured on video.

“There was a court proceeding not long ago at Cedar Forest. None of the top-level executives were at that court proceeding but I did find it that there were 4 educators that were testifying at that court proceeding. All 4 of them had the same thing in common. They all were (inaudible) getting assaulted, spit on, kicked on…..the classroom was a mess……..I am sure you have seen them all over online. They called for him and they got none from the administrators. Those 4 testified under oath they all radioed for help. This was at Cedar Forest Elementary. One of those principals is still there and that principal….was the one that said you have enough teachers in there you can handle it on your own. As you see that child was struck by a teacher with a shoe. That was testified. None of the top admin, none of you were at that court proceeding the other day, not one of you, to see what is really going on in your school system. Now other teachers have come forward. You may not know about it but we do. I want to know how do you plan on maybe even investigation from a private firm to investigate every single school in our district, 30 of them to be exact. There has to be more than one teacher do an assault on these children”
