Currently the embattled Superintendent faces a call for no confidence by the Newport Mesa teacher’s union: “In the no-confidence resolution, the teachers union contends that it was improper for Hubbard to continue drawing his $305,920 annual salary while on leave as he prepared his legal defense. Also, Hubbard acted inappropriately when sending sexually charged emails to Christiansen using his Newport-Mesa account, according to the resolution http://taxdollars.ocregister.com/2011/01/11/newport-mesa-chief-and-co-defendant-were-intimate-emails-show/72280/ http://www.ocregister.com/news/hubbard-323166-newport-mesa.html.”
