Beaumont Unified approves portable-classroom purchases, budget adjustments and appoints new director of technology
Summary
Trustees approved multiple procurement resolutions to buy modular portables and flooring, adopted budget and fund-transfer resolutions, awarded an ESF portables bid, and unanimously appointed Michael Hart as director of technology; the board also approved personnel assignment orders and a readmission motion for a student discipline case.
At its March 25 meeting the Beaumont Unified School District board approved several business-services resolutions to support summer portable-classroom projects and related site work. The board authorized use of piggyback clauses to purchase modular classroom buildings from Silver Creek Industries for Mountain View Middle School, Sangregio Middle School and Summerwind Trails Elementary and adopted a Sourcewell piggyback for Shaw Integrated & Turf Solutions flooring.
District staff clarified that Silver Creek is the modular manufacturer and that separate bidding will follow for site work (foundations, ADA compliance and other construction). The board approved the specific purchase motions for the portables and later approved the bid award for the ESF portables project (bid number 2024-25-07).
During the closed-session report trustees said they had by unanimous vote approved a purchase agreement in principle for Riverside assessor parcel number 413-790-074; the agreement had not yet been fully executed and the district said contract details will be released on request once the other party signs.
The board unanimously appointed Michael Hart to serve as director of technology; the effective date was reported as to be determined. Hart introduced his family and summarized his IT-administration background in county and district roles.
On personnel and governance, the board approved a motion (moved by David, seconded by Lance) to readmit an expelled pupil under Education Code sections 48916 and 35146 (student discipline case 202324-26); the motion carried with one abstention. Trustees also approved revised job description for a school nurse and certificated, classified and administrative personnel assignment orders dated March 25, 2025.
Speaker list: President Williamson; Sergio (district staff, facilities); Michael Hart; David; Lance; Jeff; Susie.
What happened next: Multiple facilities and budget items were adopted and staff will return with detailed site designs and bids for site work. The Highland Academy charter renewal hearing was closed without a vote; the district will consider the renewal petition at a future meeting.
