Beaumont ISD will appeal Texas Education Agency's decision to replace board, remove superintendent

The Beaumont school district intends to appeal Texas Education Commissioner Michael Williams' decision to replace the school board with a board of managers and remove Superintendent Timothy Chargois, a decision at least one trustee has called a waste of time.

The board will discuss whether to appeal Williams' decision in closed session at its regularly scheduled Thursday night meeting.

The meeting starts at 5 p.m. in the BISD administration building, 3395 Harrison Ave.

District 5 trustee Mike Neil said he would ask his fellow board members what purpose an appeal would serve.

"An appeal would be a complete waste of time," he said.
