Three members of the public addressed the Beaumont ISD board during the public comment portion of the May 5 meeting.

Delyn Mitchell spoke on behalf of Tiffany Perkinz, who is running for the State Board of Education, and specifically raised concern about agenda item III.E., the proposed temporary suspension of local board policies. Sebrina Winger offered remarks welcoming Superintendent Massey and the Board of Managers.
The minutes record these remarks without quoting speakers verbatim and do not provide additional details on the teacher concerns or any requested remedies.
