BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — Norris School District officials said in May of 2019 they received an anonymous tip from a community member alleging that the owner of American Kids Sports Centers, Mike Williams, engaged in inappropriate activity where the Norris Middle School Cheer Team holds practices at his facility.

Williams, who is listed on the business license for the American Kids Sport Center properties is also well-known for his time as a Kern High School District Board member.

The District did not disclose details on what the alleged activity was but they did tell 23ABC that it was "inappropriate" and that the Norris Middle School Cheer Team practices at the facility as well.

Officials said they notified law enforcement of the allegations but both the Kern County Sheriff's Office and the Bakersfield Police Department said they have no current investigations into Williams at this time.

In a statement sent to 23ABC from the Norris School District officials said they visited the American Kids Sport Center and confirmed that Williams was no longer involved in the day-to-day operations or present at the company facilities. Officials also added that the facility was designed so that parents could watch their children at all times.

District officials said the facility was being used by the Norris Middle School Cheer Program, but that the program concluded after they received the misconduct allegation.

23ABC reached out to the American Kids Sports Center who declined to comment.

We did obtain a letter that was sent to parents from American Kids Sports Center in April regarding Williams' absence.
