Board approves emergency roof repairs at Brookside and signs MOU for city swim program

The Beaumont Unified School District board approved emergency repairs to a leaking roof at Brookside Elementary and signed routine contracts that the district described as necessary to keep facilities safe and operations on track.

The board adopted Emergency Resolution 2025-26-44 to authorize immediate roof-leak abatement and related work at Brookside Elementary. Trustees also approved a contract with 5M Contracting to perform the immediate repairs and delegated contracting authority to the superintendent (or designee) for the work.

Separately, the board approved a memorandum of understanding with the City of Beaumont to allow shared use of the Beaumont High School pool for the city's summer swim program in 2026. City official Doug Story thanked the district for the partnership during public testimony and praised school-site staff who coordinate scheduling and insurance.

Why it matters: The emergency repair addresses water damage that district staff described as severe; approving immediate services is intended to protect student and staff safety and to limit further facility damage. The pool MOU supports a recurring community swim program the city said has helped local families learn to swim.
