Beaumont USD Board Meeting - May 12, 2026

The Beaumont Unified School District Board meeting on May 12, 2026, included significant procurement and budget-related discussions. The board addressed the sale of three surplus properties: Oak Valley, Manzanita, and Pennsylvania. No bids were received for Oak Valley and Manzanita properties, leading to a decision to extend the bidding period for Oak Valley and to re-evaluate options for Manzanita. For the Pennsylvania property, a written bid of $4,550,000 from Lewis Land Development LLC was accepted after no oral bids were received. The board also authorized the superintendent to prepare specifications and documents for a bond extension measure to be placed on the November 2026 ballot, aiming to extend Measure T without increasing the tax rate. This bond extension, supported by community survey results, is intended to fund facilities renovation and capacity expansion. Additionally, the board approved construction management services for portable classroom projects at several elementary schools, with projects reported to be on time and under budget. Other agenda items included reports on academic achievements, staff recognitions, and labor relations updates, but no further procurement actions were taken.
