PLEASE DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN IN YOUR CAFETERIA…
PLEASE FORWARD AND SPREAD THIS FAR AND WIDE. THE TRUTH MUST BE UNCOVERED. DON’T YOU OR YOUR STAFF BECOME THE NEXT VICTIM.
The Principal, Accountant and the Manager lied. The Superintendence, Mobile County Public School Commissioners, and the State Board of Adjustments members all covered up for them. They stood strangely by and did nothing. This strangely silence because of a lie that was repeated over and over again that cover up the truth has got to stop. The school system gave her 90 days of pay. After that they took her twice a month wages away from her and later, they went on to take her insurance away from her.
The Alabama State Board of Adjustment Board's Attorney wrote her by letter and stated.
If the Agency's answer, states that the claim is unopposed and recommends payment, the Board's rules allow administrative settlement. The board's rules require a hearing if the claim is opposed by the agency. Since the Superintendent, Roy Nichols and the Mobible County Public School System Commissioners, Judy Stout, William Meredith, Levon Manzie, Reginald Crenshaw and Ken (Keith) Megginson opposed her claim, she was given notice of hearings, and even went out of town to the hearings. She had to rent a car for each hearing, get a driver for each hearing, put gas in the car, as well as put money in Montgomery, Alabama meters and they had to eat, too.
Brenda right shoulder cuff had been injury months before her job related injuries occurred. She was still under doctor/medical care for her shoulder cuff injury. However, she had been given permission and excuses from her doctor to return back to work with restrictions after her none job related arm injury. She also had been given permission from the Mobile County Public School System in Mobile, Alabama to return back to work, too. However, when it came down to the manager, Mrs. Tarver there was no such thing, as restrictions for Brenda, even with doctor excuses.
First injury: May 26, 2006
In the over stock walk in freeze at Cranford Burns Middle School were frozen boxes of food. The frozen food were in different size boxes that set on the front side, right side, left side and the back side of the freezer. The frozen boxes of all types of food were stacked a couple inches off the floor, up to a couple inches below the freezer ceiling. In the idle were three layer carts, two layer carts and flat bed carts. They all were filled with frozen food, too. No one could walk directly into the freezer unless all of the carts were pulled out first, starting with the first flat bed cart that was at the door.
As Brenda Kidd started to pull a four wheeled, flat bed cart, with somewhat of a horse shoe handle on it, out of the walk in freezer the entire, unbalance cart, lifted up off the floor. The cart tilted back toward the front part of her body. The frozen boxes of pizza and fish slid back toward the front part of her body too. The unbalance cart went on to twist and turn out of control in opposite directions.
After seeing that Brenda Kidd needed help an employee name Sylvia Sisson, who was a witness to her on the job injuries and who also was injured too, yelled out.
"Brenda! I'm coming to help you."
Sylvia stopped making sandwich and ran over to help Brenda. Sylvia grabbed the right side of the cart, while Brenda held on to the cart, too. After a while, since Brenda and Sylvia still could not control the cart, Sylvia turned the heavy, lifting, tilting, twisting, turning, out of control cart a loose. While Brenda held up the heavy cart with one hand Sylvia then did the impossible.
She squeezed her body between the cart and the wall to get into the freezer. While Brenda continued to hold up that cart with one hand, Sylvia pulled 8 cases of pizza and 20 pounds of fish portions to the front of the cart. During that moment Sylvia told Brenda that a co-worker had taken 80 pounds of ground beef logs, off the front end of the cart earlier that morning.
As for Brenda who considered Sylvia a God sent, thought she had held up 240lbs of frozen food not including the weight of the cart, later she realized when she went back over her math that she had held up 8 boxes of pizza at 30 pounds, each and 2 cases of fish portions at 10 pounds, each. That meant she had held up a total of 260 pounds not including the weight of the cart with one hand, her good hand/arm/shoulder.
Second Injury: November 3, 2006 (Brenda Kidd never recovered from the first injury of holding up the 240 lbs that later realize that she had held up 260 pounds not including the weight of the cart with one hand.) Can you a magazine a women holding up 240lbs of frozen food let along 260lbs with one hand.
Brenda Kidd was re-injured, on top of her first on the job injury that she had never recovered from. Brenda had given her Manager all of her doctor excuses that stated her lifting restrictions, until her tests result were back. However she was still assigned to inventory the walk in freezer. She had to put all of the vegetables on one side of the freezer. She had to move the boxes of food that didn't belong on the vegetable side of the freezer. She had to get the vegetables from all other sides of the freezer and put them on the vegetable side of the freezer. That required lifting up to 30 pounds over and over again, reaching, bending and stooping down. She also had to write down the names, how many and the weight of each case of vegetable.
There is proof of an inventory sheet of all the 30 pounds of boxes that she had to lift in the freezer.
Yes! And there were many. Also there were boxes of vegetables that weighted less than 30 pounds that she had to lift too, such as 20 pounds and 10 pounds. The lifting of all the boxes caused her back pain, to pain worse, burn, and ache. The pain was almost unbearable.
Mrs. Hell/Hail who was over the Cafeteria employees, told her to do whatever the manager tells you to do, so when she comes to me, she won't tell me you didn't do what she told you to do. And that was what Brenda did.
Below are parts of a letter that Mr. Adam the principal mailed to the State Board of Adjustment Board Members, which she has. Also below are parts of a letter that Brenda Kidd mailed to the State Board of Adjustment Board Members, as a true rebutter.
Mr. Adam/Principal
Brenda Kidd's injury while working in the Cranford Burns Middle School Cafeteria freezer on 11/3/06 was due to lifting boxes of frozen foods.
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
While inventorying the vegetables in the walk in freezer on 11/30/06 lifting cases of frozen foods such as (30 pound boxes) of frozen food and much more, my back was re-injured.
Mr. Adam/Principal
She complained of feeling back pain and left work.
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
On 11/3/06, I had no choice. I had to leave after begging Mrs. Tarver and Mr. Adam to let me fill out the second on the job injury accident report form that they still did not sign. My back was burning, paining and aching. It was almost unbearable. Right after my accident according to Mr. Adam he called and talked to my doctor. I do have a letter that was mailed to me from the State Board of Adjustment from Mr. Adam stating that he called my doctor right after my on the job injury accident. My doctor at the time disclosed my health information to Mr. Adam without my permission.
My doctor, Daniel H. Spriggs, also worked for the Mobile County Public School System. Mr. Adam had no right to talk to my doctor without my permission. No one has that right, and I did not sign any papers, nor did I verbally give the Mobile County Public School System that right too, for my first job related and second job related injuries. Now, I know that was why when I walk into my doctor's office his nurse, who looked, as if she had been waiting for me, told me that he could not see me. I even asked her could I just sit here and be work in, her answer was no. That was the first, time that had ever happened to me. Thank God I had talk to that same nurse a day before my second injury occurred. She had called me in some pain medication. She told me to continue taking that pain medication that you are taking. Although Doctor Spriggs had treated me for my shoulder cuff fracture accident that happen at a local hospital that he also worked for, he treated me worse, after Mr. Adam asked and received my medical information.
Mr. Adam/Principal
She has claimed the injury is from a previous on the job injury on 5/26/07.
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
That is not true. My previous injury was on 5/26/06. My injury was not on the dated, 5/26/07 that Mr. Adam said it was.
Mr. Adam/Principal
5/26/07 injury was not reported until after she returns to me with a doctor's note requiring her to be out of work until June 5th 2006.
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
That’s not true. My injury was reported to my Manager, Mrs. Tarver, but I had to beg her to let me fill out Mobile County Public School System Employee Report of Injury/Accident Form.
Know employee in that cafeteria has ever reported there on the job injury accidents to Mr. Adam. The manager does that. Mrs. Tarver reported my on the job injury to the accountant, Mrs. Shaw and Mr. Adam.
I have copies of May 26, 2006 on the job injury accident report and November 3, 2006 on the job injury accident report.
Mrs. Tarver would not sign my May 26, 2006 on the job injury accident report, statements. And Mr. Adam and Mrs. Tarver would not sign my November 3, 2006 on the job injury accident report, statements. Even though he would not sign my copy, Mr. Adam sent my on the job injury accident report statements for November 3, 2006 in to Health Services. To this day I do not know what he said and is the report really the one that I wrote.
Think! Why would I have not one, but two Mobile County Employee Report of Injury Accident Form that are not signed by either my manager, Mrs. Tarver and the principal Mr. Adam. Why, was November 3, 2006 on the job injury accident form signed, but not my copy? That tells you that they would not sign them. Again I say, to this day I do not know what he said and is it really the report that I wrote. They tried hard to discredit me. Why? I don’t know.
There is no way that I could have walked over to the office and picked up an on the job injury form. And there is no way that I could have walked into Mrs. Tarver office and picked up an on the job injury form.
If you compare my November 3, 2006 unsigned copy with the copy that Mr. Adam sent to Health Services you will then see that they are the same, unless it has been alter.
Mr. Adam read my May 26, 2006 on the job injury accident statement and he read my witness May 26, 2006 on the job injury statement too. I got a phone call stating that he was reading my statements and my witness statements right outside Mrs. Tarver office door. After he finished reading both reports, he then questioned my witness.
Brenda heard over the news about what had happened to an employee that worked for the Mobile County Public School System. The employee injured herself on the job, went home and didn't fill out an employee on the job injury report form within 24 hours. According to the News reporter, while at home the lady began to have pain from her injury, but there was nothing the Mobile County Public School System would do about it, because she did not fill out an employee on the job injury form.
The reporter stated.
"If you get hurt on the job and you work for the Mobile County Public School System, make sure you take just a few minutes and write your accident up before you leave. Don't leave without writing your accident up. Because something, as small, as a cut could turn into something else later and the Mobile County Public School System will not be responsible for an, on the job injury that has not been written up."
Therefore Brenda did not want to leave without filling out a Mobile County Public School System Report of on the job injury accident form, even though she was in pain.
Still Brenda believed everything that they had told her until she got the phone call. After that phone call from her co-worker, she found out that Mr. Adam, Mrs. Shaw and Mrs. Tarver had lied to her. They are Educators. They suppose to be people that you can trust. And she believed everything that they told her verbally and through phone conversation. After that phone call she called Health Services. That was when she founded out that her on the job injury and her witness on the job injury statement had not been sent to Health Services, they simply had disappeared.
When she called Mrs. Tarver, Mrs. Tarver told her that she turned her on the job injury form in to Mrs. Shaw. When she called Mrs. Shaw, Mrs. Shaw told her that she had turned her on the job injury form in to the School Board/Health Services. When she called Health Services back, Mrs. Montgomery told her again that Mrs. Shaw had not turned her on the job injury form in. After going back and forth she called Mr. Adam, he told her that Mrs. Shaw was going to turn her on the job injury forms in. She called Mr. Adam back and he told her that he had turned it in. Mrs. Montgomery said again through phone conversation that she did not have it. So, she went to Cranford Burns Middle school and talked to Mr. Adam. He said he had called Mrs. Shaw and told her to come back up here and send the papers to the school board. As she stood there in Cranford Burns Middle School office talking to Mrs. Montgomery, she asked her do you have paper work. She said yes, but it is not sign. She said, good send it, in. She told Mr. Adam what Mrs. Montgomery said. After that she left the school and went to Kinkos and Fax her on the job injury forms/statements to Mrs. Montgomery. She has a copy of that fax.
Why should she lie about the conversations? All, she wanted was to get well and have her check straightened out because Mrs. Shaw had turned her miss on the job injury days in to payroll as missed unpaid days.
She read her witness, Sylvia Sisson, who was like an assistant to Mrs. Tarver, statements and they were the same, as her statements. Why would Sylvia Sisson the assistant to the manager lie for her? Everything Sylvia Sisson wrote was the truth.
Her on the job injury statements and Sylvia Sisson statements were not sent to Health Services, they disappeared.
Why and how could two statements that Mr. Adam read, written on the same day, during the same time and stated the same truthful information not make it to Health Services? Why didn't the State Board of Adjustment, Superintendent, Roy Nichols and the Mobible County Public School Commissioners of Mobile County, Judy Stout, William Meredith, Levon Manzie, Reginald Crenshaw and Ken (Keith) Megginson, talk to Mrs. Montgomery and Sylvia Sisson. Then they would have known that she was telling the truth.
Or maybe they did talk to Sylvia Sisson and Mrs. Montgomery and that is why they want her to just go away.
These people statements are extremely important, as well as her severe chronic back pain.
At the time of her on the job injury her witness gave Brenda her address to write down on the on the job injury form.
The Board of School Commissioners of Mobile County, were against Mr. Thomas whom she does not know, for during wrong. Do they know the different between wrong and right because she didn't do anything wrong. She could not prevent what happened to her. And now they are against Brenda Kidd for telling the truth about her on the job severe back injuries and about her conversations that she had with all of them, as well as all the lies that they have told. She has done everything right, yet they close the door on her. They are the ones that destroyed Brenda Kidd and Sylvia Sisson on the job injuries, statements. It is like she never injured her back on school property.
I guess you can say, she don't exist to them, but it is important to cook the students food on a daily basis, on time. Work overtime without being paid.
As for an attorney, no Attorney will take this case. They say know money is in it.
All she wants is her life back. Through all the pain, it seems as if she will never get it back. She is still under the doctor care for her severe chronic back pain that she is going to have to live with for the rest of her life.
Roy Nichols, George Smith and the Board of School Commissioners of Mobile County, Judy Stout, William Meredith, Levon Manzie, Reginald Crenshaw and Ken (Keith) Megginson, are a bunched of cold, hearted people. And Mrs. Tarver, Mr. Adam and Mrs. Shaw also are cold-hearted people that just won't tell the truth.
They will not write her back concerning her letters. It is like they are above her.
But, they have written her telling her, if you are unable to return to work, then it will be to your benefit to resign in good standing before any adverse employment action is taken against you. If we don't hear from you within five business days, then we will consider you have abandoned your job and you may be recommended for termination. Consequently, you may be recommended for termination.
She must remember for no just cause, they did it to Jesus, whom is a man that didn't do anything wrong.
I don't blame any of the schools from pulling out from under the Mobile County School System. How could a man of God sit there and let this happen. Of course the Reverend job is more important than handle this matter the right Christian way. But at one point it seemed, as if he was the only one that cared.
Mr. Adam/Principal
There had been question to the severity of her back problems this school year, 2006-07.
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
By, whom, him Mrs. Tarver and Mrs. Shaw? The employees that I did talk to all knew about my back pain including Mrs. Tarver. And Mrs. Tarver knew that I was under doctor care for my back, as well as my shoulder, which is unrelated to my on the job injuries.
Also Mr. Adam, Mrs. Shaw and the Mobile County Public School System knew, because I turned all my doctor excuses in to Mrs. Tarver.
Mr. Adam is the one, who I know for a fact, question my severe chronic adverse back injuries because he called my doctor, who is no longer my doctor anymore. Why would he question me and never question others. I am a quited person and I take up for myself only if I have too. If I don't take up for myself, I will be punished for an employee, who is a friend of the Manager’s wrong during. It is a no, win situation, because whenever I take up for myself, I will still be punished for what a friend of the Manager has done or said I done. I have written down some of the terrible truthful things that had happened in the cafeteria. I have given it to Mr. Adam, Superintendent Roy Nichols, State board of Adjustment Members, Former Governor Bob Riley and all 5 of the Mobile County Public School System Members Judy Stout, William Meredith, Levon Manzie, Reginald Crenshaw and Ken (Keith) Megginson. Those true statements should have let them knew that I was not the bad person.
Mr. Adam/Principal
The doctor sent her back to work at the beginning of the school year, August 14, 2006
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
On 9/18/06 to 12/1/06, Doctor Spriggs sent me back to work with restrictions no lifting, carrying, sitting, walking, bending, stooping, twisting, squatting, kneeling, pushing, pulling, climbing, reaching, use of upper extremities and driving. I do have the Mobile County Public School System Job-Related Injury Program Physician Statement, no lifting over 15 pounds, and they all have it too. I was also, cleared to return to work by the Employee Relations/Division of Human Resources.
Mr. Adam/Principal
After Therapy during the summer for her back injury that happen on May 26, 06.
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
That is not true. I did not have any type of therapy during the summer of 2006 for my on the job back injury, on May 26, 2006.
Mr. Adam/Principal
I was unaware of the injury and never did an investigation or signed an employee injury report.
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
That is not true. Mr. Adam read my on the job injury accident statements and Sylvia Sisson paper. Then he question, Sylvia Sisson in the cafeteria, before I called Mrs. Shaw, Mrs. Tarver and Mrs. Montgomery/Health Services. He didn't sign neither copy of my on the job injury report, but he did send in November 3, 2006 on the job injury report sign, even though he would not sign my copy.
Mr. Adam/Principal
I became aware of the injury after she claimed an on the job injury.
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
That’s not true. Mr. Adam already knew. He question, my witness Sylvia Sisson who also was injured.
Mr. Adam/Principal
There were work restrictions of no lifting until 6/5/07 listed on her return to work form from the doctor.
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
That’s not true. I never got an excuse from my doctor stating restrictions of no lifting until 6/5/07. I did not work at all in 2007, check with Human Resource.
Mr. Adam/Principal
Brenda Kidd returns to work the first week of school and re-injures her back on 9/18/07, while working in the freezer while rearranging frozen foods an incoming shipment.
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
That’s not true. I did not return to work the first week of school in 2006, because I had a heart/Cardiac Catheterization. I did not re-injure my back on 9/18/07. I injured my back on the job 2 times not 3 times. My back was injured on May 26, 2006 and November 3, 2006. My back was not injured on 9/18/07. Once again I say I did not work at all in 2007, let along 9/18/2007.
I was not working in the freezer on 9/18/07 rearranging frozen foods from an incoming shipment. Once again I did not work at all in 2007.
Mr. Adam/Principal
Has a return dated of 9/19/06 with lifting limits of 15 pounds.
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
I went to the doctor for my on the job injury back pain on the 9/18/06. I brought my doctor's excuse on 9/19/06 and gave it to Mrs. Tarver, with limit lifting of 15Lbs.
Mr. Adam/Principal
Her return date to work was 12-1-06, a notice that I did not receive until after 11/3/07.
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
That’s not true. The 12-1-06 was a doctor appointment.
After my on the job injury on 11/3/2006 my return date to work was suppose to be 12/4/06, but I went back to the doctor for my back pain on 12/1/06 to 12/8/06. There after my return date to work was 12/11/06 from doctor Spriggs. Since doctor Spriggs had a bad attitude toward me and had given out my medical report to Mr. Adam and I was still hurting and it seemed as if he didn't care. I changed doctors and got a second opinion for my back pain that was getting worse and worse. I got a doctor that didn't work for the Mobile County Public School System.
Once again I never worked in 2007. Mr. Adam did receive a notice and he received a fax doctor excuse on 12-12-06. I fax Mrs. Montgomery on 12-12-06 6:43pm.
I fax Mrs. Shaw and Mr. Adam on 12-12-06 6:45pm
12/21/06 I fax Mrs. Montgomery and cancel
I fax payroll on 9/19/06
My doctor excuse was sent to them by fax and it went through.
Mr. Adam/Principal
On 11\3\06 I called the doctor's office at about 9am after she got injured again in the freezer that morning about 745am. requesting the back to work date and restrictions because we had not received anything from the doctor back from 9/18/07.
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
Mr. Adam is an Educator, why would he contact my doctor without my permission. I could not have contacted his doctor. There is such thing as a privacy act. Why would Doctor Spriggs talk to Mr. Adam concerning my medical records? Why would doctor Spriggs not see me on November 3, 2006 knowing from Mr. Adam that I had re-injured my back, knowing that I had not recovered from my first on the job back injury on May 26, 2006?
That was why doctor Spriggs would not see me, because he had talked to Mr. Adam about my medical records.
Once again I did not work the 9/18/07. I did not work in 2007 at all.
Mr. Adam/Principal
She claimed on 11/3/07 that she was not supposed to be lifting anything heavier than 15lbs.
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
That’s not true. Once again I did not work on the 9/18/2007 or in 2007 at all.
Mr. Adam/Principal
The doctor's back to work report did not have any lifting restrictions marked.
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
That’s not true. My doctor's excuse for 9/19/06 states no lifting over 15lbs. And I do have that excuse.
Mr. Adam/Principal
I do not have any injury reports from the initial injury, because, it was not reported to me by the employee, Brenda Kidd.
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
My on the job injuries, was reported to my Supervisor, who stated that she was going to handle it. She also said that she was going to give it to Mrs. Shaw. My Supervisor gave me the injury accident forms after begging for it. I and know other employee have reported there on the job injury or any other injury to Mr. Adam. Our Manger reports that to Mr. Adam.
When the manager reported Linda Wilson (white) on the job injury accident to Mr. Adam he came from the office with an accident form in his hand and told her to go home. She was not question at all nor was she drilled by Mr. Adam and Mrs. Tarver. He did not hesitate to give the white lady, who is Mrs. Tarver, friend the accident form, nor did Mrs. Tarver hesitate. He didn't question Linda Wilson. Why would he question me? I have never given Mr. Adam, Mrs. Tarver and any of my co-workers reasons and jesters to not trust me. And for that reason along tears me up in side.
State Board of Adjustment Attorney
The Board's Attorney wrote by letter and stated.
If the Agency's (which is the Mobile County Public School Superintendent and the Mobile County Public School Commissioners and their Staffs) answer states that the claim is unopposed and recommends payment, the Board's rules allow administrative settlement. The board's rules require a hearing if the claim is opposed by the agency. Since the School System opposed the claim, I was given notice of hearings, and even went out of town to the hearings. I had to rent a car for each hearing, get a driver for each hearing, put gas in the car, as well as put money in Montgomery, Alabama meters and they had to eat. Mobile County Public School System opposed my on the job injury therefore I was not approved for an administrative leave, settlement. However the Mobile County Public School System told me that it was up to the state to continue paying me after 90 days were up. This is another case of who is telling the truth, Mobile County School System Superintendent, Mobile County School System Commissioners or the Alabama State Board of Adjustment Members?
She contacted the Former Governor Bob Riley in 2009. He told her to call Dr. Joseph Morton, Superintendent of the Alabama Department of Education. former Governor Bob Riley also said that he was confident that Dr. Morton and his staff will fully, evaluate her concerns and take any appropriate or available action. She called and called and called Dr Morton, but Dr. Morton staff would not let her speak to him. They gave her the runner a round. His staff also transfer her to people that also could not help her.
She contacted the State Board of Adjustment. She filed a regular claim and a supplemental claim with the State Board of Adjustment. She has gone to two meetings, even though the clerk told her that she came to one meeting, which is not true she had to rent cars to get there and she had to have drivers to take her.
Even though her claim was opposed by the Mobile County Public School System the State Board of Adjustment offered her in a letter $209.40 cents check without her permission. She never negotiated and said that she was or would accept $209.40 from them. And she has witness. Every meeting that she attended she had people with her.
The first she heard of the check was through another letter that stated.
Respondent, State of Alabama, Department of Education, answers the above styled claim as follows: The Respondent recommends and offers an administrative settlement of this claim by payment to the Claimant of representing $209.40 compensation for substantiated uninsured medical expenses. In the event this settlement offer is not accepted, the Claim is denied in all respects. To accept this settlement offer, the Claimant should forward a written acceptance to the undersigned at the address below. She never did accept the settlement offer. But, the check, along with another letter was mail to her.
Part of the letter stated: by endorsing and negotiating this payment, the payee is accepting the amount tendered in full satisfaction of the claim and is releasing all parties against whom the claim was asserted. And on the back of the check stated: By endorsing this check, I release the State of Alabama and its departments, agencies, employees, etc., from all claims arising out of the injuries/damages described in the claim for which this award is made. she did not cash the check. She still has it for safekeeping. The State Board of Adjustment, Attorney Larry E. Craven told her, by letter, In the event this settlement is not accepted, the claim is denied in all respects.
She took all her information to Winn Faulk, who is an attorney in Montgomery Alabama. Later she found out that he is well known with the State of Alabama Board Members. He would not return her calls. He was very unprofessional. He would not notify her of board meetings. Again I say he would not return her phone calls and her phone messages that she left over and over on the answering machine and with his staff.
She had to find out about board meeting by calling the State Board of Adjustment Office.
So, after she let Winn Faulk go and asked him to send her back all her documents, she found herself right back where she started from, although he did not help her, as well.
Her insurance was taken away from her. Lois Melton sent her back her premium/money order, which she has. Lois Melton also told her that she was following her boss instructions. Her boss name was George Smith.
She contacted AIG Insurance Company. They let her file a claim and they told her even though they are no longer with the school system, she was cover because it happened in 2006, even though the Mobile County School System did not report it. But right after AIG insurance company talked to George Smith, who was the one that told her about AIG after begging him, AIG recommend that she pursue this matter directly with Mr. Chuck Haben at the Board. Mr. Chuck Haben will explain to you about the self-insured retention policy that Mobile County Public School System had with AIG.
Susan L. Shaffer is AIG Complex Director, Specialty Excess Claims stated: A self-insured retention is that portion of the policy that is the responsibility of the insured and applies to covered claims. Why are you after us you need to go after the Board of School Commissioners of Mobile County, Alabama?
After that she was told by a reliable source that Cranford Burns Middle School, building has insurance on it. When she asked George Smith about that he said the building did not have insurance on it.
She called Chuck Haben. No one would let her speak to him and there were times that she got his answering machine. Finally when she did speak to him, he didn't help her. He also told her that the building did not have insurance on it. And Chuck Haben and George Smith told her that AIG self-insured retention policy was not for Cafeteria Workers. It was for Superintendent Roy Nichols, and the Board of School Commissioners of Mobile County, Judy Stout, William Meredith, Levon Manzie, Reginald Crenshaw and Ken (Keith) Megginson.
When she told Mr. Chuck Haben about what was typed on the back of the check that the State Board of Adjustment had up and sent her and what the letter stated, he told her that he felt like it was safe to cash the check. That was just the way it was worded and they probably word everything like that.
By phone and through email she talked to Reverend Levon Manzie.
By phone Superintendent Roy Nichols, staff would not let her speak to him. And he would not return her calls even though she had left messages with his staff. So she decided to email him and all of the board members. Of course during that time an email letter was the only way she could get Mr. Roy Nichols to contact her.
On May 19, 2009 she wrote letters by email to Judy Stout, Ken Megginson, William Meredith, Levon Manzie and Reginald Crenshaw. She heard from one of the board members, but she never heard from the others.
On May 19, 2009 she wrote letters to Superintendent Roy Nichols, Mr. William Meredith, Mrs. Judy Stout, Mr., Ken (Keith) Megginson, Mr. Reginald Crenshaw and, Mr. Levon Manzie by postal certified mail, which were received.
The postal receipts (green cards) were signed on May 20, 2009 and mailed back to her.

Ms. Kidd,
I have looked into your case, and have been informed that the State of Alabama will not allow school systems to pay the health insurance premiums for employees who have been out on medical leave for more than two years regardless of how or where the medical condition occurred. As you know, you have not reported to work in two years; therefore, we will not be allowed to continue paying your health insurance premium. However, health insurance will still be available to you through PEEHIP as long as you pay the premium.

Thank you for finally contacting me, Brenda Kidd, Mr. Nichols. Now, I will have to rewrite a part of my letter. Now, I have to tell the people that are on and not on my reference list what you said, the State Of Alabama will not pay for my Insurance. And again I am asking you to please give me the name and phone number of Cranford Burns Middle School Insurance Carrier. Like I have said and e-mailed to you before, I was told by a liable source that the school has Insurance. I need Cranford Burns Middle School Insurance Carrier name from you by May 27, 2009.
Thank you,
Brenda Kidd
If anything should happen to me or my family all letters and e-mails will be turn in to the Authorities, Media and to anyone who will listen and do something about it, as soon as possible, by a reliable source.

How could she pay her insurance premium? She couldn’t work and she wasn’t receiving know type of paid leave salary from the Mobile County Public School System. The Mobile County Public School Educators did not care whether she lived or died and that is sad. It is by the help of the Lord that she is making. She has all letters and emails and she can prove everything that is written in this letter. However that doesn’t seem to matter to people. All that matter is what the Educators says and they all are lying and know one seem to care. People need to stop opposing their lies and look at her true facts. How can you let a bunch of liars ruin the Mobile County School System? They are over our Children.

After the Superintendent contacted me by email on May 20, 2009, two days after on May 22, 2009 my email letters could not be delivered to the Superintendent Roy Nichols, Mr. William Meredith, Mrs. Judy Stout, Mr. Ken (Keith) Megginson, Mr. Reginald Crenshaw and, Mr. Levon Manzie email addresses. (Mobile County Public School System (rdnichols@mcpss.com and the others)
The Mobile County Public School System had classified her email address as spam mail. She has that email as well. Therefore she could no longer e-mail Roy Nichols, Judy Stout, William Meredith, Levon Manzie, Reginald Crenshaw and Ken (Keith) Megginson anymore.
Know they did not have new equipment because they had change over with new equipment long before she emailed him and that came from a reliable source.
Below is one of the copies of her emails that was classified as spam mail by the Mobile County Public School Board. But keep in mind that she could no longer email the superintendent and all of the commisioners too.

Superintendent Roy Nichols, and the Board of School Commissioners of Mobile County, Judy Stout, William Meredith, Levon Manzie, Reginald Crenshaw and Ken (Keith) Megginson never responded to her written letters on May 19, 2009 that was sent to each of them. They all received the letters because the return certified mail receipt cards had to be signed, before they were returned back to her.
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
She received a letter dated, December 29, 2009 from Superintendent Roy Nichols. He stated the following statements below under the heading Roy Nichols/Superintendent. These people don’t even know her. How can they all judge her off of the lies the Principal Mr. Adam, the accountant Mrs. Shaw and the cafeteria manager Mrs. Tarver have told?
This is classified as a personal reason (under the Ala. code S36-26-102) to terminated her because of injuries and on the part of Mr. Adam, Mrs. Shaw and Mrs. Tarver destroyed her on the job injury and her witness on the job injury written statements as well as on the part of Mr. Adam, Mrs. Shaw and Mrs. Tarver not taking her back injuries serious and Mr. Adam calling her doctor. Therefore they lied and somehow persuaded the Superintendent, Roy Nichols, Alabama State Board of Adjustment Members and the Mobile County Public School System Board Members to go along with the lie, too.
Roy Nichols/Superintendent
You are hereby given notice of my intention to recommend termination of the employment of Brenda Kidd as provided in Ala. Code 536-26-102. The reasons for the proposed termination are as follows:
Other Good and Just Cause.
The facts showing that the termination is taken for one or more of the reasons listed in Ala. Code 536-26-102 are as follows:
Roy Nichols/Superintendent
On November 3, 2006 you were injured while employed as a CNP Assistant at Burns Middle School. You were paid for ninety days through March 29, 2007. You were then on medical leave from March 30, 2007, through May 23, 2008.
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
I never received a letter stating that I was approved for Medical Leave at all let along from March 30, 2007 to May 23, 2008.
Roy Nichols/Superintendent
Your Medical Leave was extended until March 29, 2009.
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
I never received a letter stating my Medical Leave was extended until March 29, 2009How can I receive a letter stating my Medical Leave was extended until March 29, 2009when I never received a letter stating that I was approved for Medical Leave from March 30, 2007 to May 23, 2008?
Roy Nichols/Superintendent
On March 23, 2009, you were sent a certified letter stating that you had not worked in over two years and that if you were still unable to work then you needed to either resign or you would be placed for termination.
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
That’s true. I received a letter that stated that from George Smith.
Roy Nichols/Superintendent
On or about May 21, 2009, you were allowed further additional time to return to work.
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
On or about May 21, 2009, I never received a letter stating I was allowed further additional time to return to work.
Roy Nichols/Superintendent
However, no communication has been received from you since you were allowed that additional tine to return to work.
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
That’s not true. I have faxes', and letters, proving that I had communication with you all.
Mobile County Public School System classified my e-mail address as spam mail. Therefore I say again, I could no longer e-mail Roy Nichols, and the Board of School Commissioners of Mobile County, Judy Stout, William Meredith, Levon Manzie, Reginald Crenshaw and Ken (Keith) Megginson.
Roy Nichols/Superintendent
Therefore, you have abandoned your job duties.
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
That’s not true. You all have letters from me stating that I have not abandoned my job.
December 29, 2009 was the only time that you have communicated with me since the Email that I sent to you in May 2009 meaning by email was the only way I could get you to contact me Mr. Roy Nichols. I have called you several and several times, but you never returned my calls, with left messages with people that work in your office (Paulette Holly and others). I have written you a certified letter post mark return receipt dated May 20, 2009, I never heard back from you by letter, Mr. Roy Nichols, Jr., even though the postal card came back to me signed.
I also have written the same letter to Dr. Judy Stout, Mr. Williams Meredith, Mr. Ken (Keith) Megginson, Dr. Reginald Crenshaw and Rev. Levon Manzie, but I also did not hear from them too.
Mr. Roy Nichols in your email and in the December 29, 2009 letter you never mention that I had to write you concerning being off from work because of my on the job injuries, which I do have. No one ever wrote me and told me that I was allowed further additional time to return to work. I have not abandoned my job. Communication from I, Brenda Kidd was sent out to Mr. George Smith on 7/14/09 about (I have not abandoned my job, plus my medical clinic notes and excuse and a fingerprinting matter, which I do have).
Communication from I, Brenda Kidd was also sent out to Mr. Bryan Hack on 7/28/09 and 8/14/09 about (I have not abandoned my job and a fingerprinting matter, which I do have). No one not even you Mr. Roy Nichols have told me that it was mandatory to contact you Mr. Roy Nichols or send you my updates concerning my off from work, on the job injuries, which, would not have been hard to do. I am not at fault here. I injured my back on the job.
Roy Nichols/Superintendent
Medical leave.
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
I never got an approval letter stating that any type of leave was approved, even though I filled out the necessary paper work. However through letters Superintendent Roy Nichols (and George Smith uses the word medical leave) for instance your medical leave was extended.
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
Below is a letter that Brenda Kidd wrote to Mr. Roy Nichols by postal mail on January 19, 2010. She has the return postal receipt.
January 19, 2010
To: Superintendent, Mr. Roy Nichols, Jr.,
From: Brenda Kidd/Cranford Burns Middle School/on the Job Injuries
December 29, 2009 was the only time that you have communicated with me since the Email that I sent to you in May 2009 meaning by email was the only way I could get you to contact me. I have called you several and several times, but you never returned my calls, with left messages with people that work in your office (Paulette Holly and others). I have written you a certified letter post mark May 20, 2009, I never heard back from you by letter, Mr. Roy Nichols, Jr., even though the postal card came back to me signed.

I am not at fault here. I injured my back on the job. And I have yet to receive the corrected name of the insurance company that is on Cranford Burns Middle School building that I have asked you Mr. Nichols and Mr. George Smith for. You as well as I know that, that school building is insured. And I don’t mean the retention plan with AIG. I have asked you Mr. Nichols and Mr. George Smith and I haven’t been told the correct insurance company name that is on that building.
To sum this letter up I have been in contacted with several people after May 21, 2009 including, Governor, Bob Riley. And most of all I, Brenda Kidd has not abandoned my job.
Sincerely,
Brenda Kidd
End of Letter
After he received my letter on January 19, 2010, on February 24, 2010 I received by postal mail a letter from Mr. Roy Nichols.
Roy Nichols/Superintendent
You are hereby given notice of my intention to recommend termination of the employment of Brenda Kidd as provided in Ala. Code S36-26-102. The reason for the proposed termination are as follows.
Other Good Just Cause. Job Abandonment.
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
**With the grace of God, I am surviving.
They have given an, accuse (white) sex offenders administrative leave with pay but opposed my on the job back injuries claim with pay with the state board of Adjustment board members. I wasn’t allowed administrative paid leave with paid insurance. I am still under doctor care for my back and Superintendent Roy Nichols, Mobile County Public School Commissioners /they all know this.
Bryan Hack/Executive Manager, Human Resources
You were sent a letter on June 26, 2009 that you needed to have fingerprinting done and that we were supplying you a check to have this matter taken care of. Our records show that the process has not yet been completed. This matter must be completed by the end of July. You will need to come by the office and pick up your check and get your fingerprinting done.
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
I am not at fault here. My finger print process has, is and was completed. I have fax George Smith about that matter concerning my fingerprinting letter that Bryan Hack sent to me. Now I am faxing this to you Mr. Bryan Hack. My finger printing was completed. My entire fingerprinting is in my files. If they are not there, someone has taken them out of my files. Including what I gave also to Mrs. Beverly Hell or Hail.
How can the Mobile County Public School System give her a check to be fingerprinted and at the same time discontinued her pay after 90 days and discontinued her insurance knowing she seriously needs both. They didn't care whether she lived or died. But when the Mobile County Public School System wants you to do something, you must do it.
Below are parts of a letter that Bryan Hack wrote to Brenda Kidd on August 4, 2009. He also wrote her on June 26, 2009 and July 24, 2009 too.
Bryan Hack/Executive Manager, Human Resources
I received your letter on July 28, 2009 and understand your position that you have had your fingerprinting done. The fact remains that your fingerprints have not cleared the state and must be completed. Regardless of what happened to your original fingerprint paperwork, the process is not complete. HR will bear the cost associated with your re-fingerprinting. Let me be very clear, you must complete your fingerprinting process by August 14, 2009. A failure to do so may result in HR recommending your dismissal from the School System.
Below are parts of a letter that Brenda Kidd wrote to Bryan Hack on August 14, 2009. Brenda Kidd also wrote him July 28, 2009 too.
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
I will be in to be fingerprinted again, as soon as my condition allows me to even though I have been cleared. I was cleared even with the added information that I gave to Mrs. Hell. Everything should be in my folder, my cleared sheet and added information. Again, I was told, by three different people that my fingerprinting was cleared, for Mobile County Public School and the State of Alabama fingerprinting system. Again I will be in as soon as my condition allows me to. I Brenda Kidd have not abandoned my job Mr. Bryan Hack.
Below are parts of a letter that Brenda Kidd wrote to George Smith on July 14, 2009.
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
I Brenda Kidd have not abandoned my job. As for my background clearance, it was completed. I was fingerprinted during the time when I had no choice but to do so. If you would look in my files I'm quite sure that they will be found. And if I was not cleared, otherwise I couldn't have worked there for 8 years, Mr. Bryan Hack. My entire background check was completed. You have everything George Smith.
Below are parts of a letter that George Smith wrote to Brenda Kidd on March 27, 2008.
George Smith
We must receive a HR-124, request for a leave of absence from you before we will be able to approve your request for a leave of absence in conformity with Board Policy. We must also have a certification from your physician that you are physically unable to perform the functions of your job, not simply an excuse from work. We have the medical we need the HR-124.
Brenda Kidd/Injured Employee
My HR-124 application for leave should be already in my records/your records. Although I filled out another HR-124 and sent it back to George Smith, he never sent be an approval letter. Therefore I assumed he never looked into, who took my HR-124 out of my files. I also assumed he or they never looked into why my on the job injuries and my witness on the job injuries forms did not re-appeared.
In other words why weren’t those on the job injuries form sent to Human Resources/ Health Services?
Who destroyed them?
Below are parts of a letter that George Smith wrote to Brenda Kidd on March 23, 2009
George Smith
Our records indicate that you have not actively worked in two years. The board polices only permit an employee to remain off work for up to a year. As such, you may be recommended for termination. If you are unable to work, then it would be to your benefit to resign in good standing before any adverse employment action is taken against you. If we do not hear from you within five business days, then we will consider you to have abandoned your job and you may be recommended for termination.
Brenda Kidd
Sometime after that I called George Smith and begged him for my job and insurance. He said he will have to see.
Brenda Kidd
April 27, 2009 I received a letter from Lois Melton in the insurance department.
Lois Melton
You will pay your June 2009 premium directly to PEEHIP.
Brenda Kidd
How could I pay hundreds of dollars for insurance when I didn’t have any income? I have the money order that Lois Melton sent back to me. When I called her she told me that she was during what her boss told her to do, George Smith.
Brenda Kidd talked to the Senator and his secretary, but again after they talked to Mr. Adam her injuries, was pushed under the rug. The Senator and his secretary told her to call and talk to Mr. Adam. So she decided to try again. Mr. Adam still did not talk to her, nor did he return her left to Mrs. Shaw phone Messages to have Mr. Adam call her.
I was not created equally, by Mrs. Tarver, Mr. Adam, Mrs. Shaw, Roy Nichols, and the Board of School Commissioners of Mobile County, Judy Stout, William Meredith, Levon Manzie, Reginald Crenshaw and Ken (Keith) Megginson, and Alabama State Board of Adjustment Members, just because I am a lunch lady, not an Educator.
They all know she got hurt and are still in severe pain and is suffering from my on the job injuries. They just aren't going to do anything about it. Therefore they leave her no choice, but to tell her story to as many schools as possible, to make sure that other Principals and Board Members do not allow this to happen to another Cafeteria worker, as well as other Employees.
Although I would never harm anyone, someone else might. I have stopped employees, fights, before they became physical, in Cranford Burns Cafeteria. So please do not allow what happen to me to happen to someone else. I have written letters to the Superintendent, the School Board commissioners, State Board of Adjustments Members, President Obama and the former Governor about what went on in Cranford Burns Middle School Cafeteria. I also verbally spoke to Mr. Adam the principal along with formal Vice Principals too. Perhaps it was taken as a grain of salt.
Thank You,
Mrs. Kidd
