The Beaumont Independent School District must enter into mandatory mediation with the Beaumont Heritage Society concerning the demolition of South Park Middle School. Attorney Michael Getz, who represents the heritage society and South Park alumnus Eddie Estilette, told The Enterprise that District Judge Bob Wortham made the ruling at 1 p.m. today. On Monday, Wortham granted a temporary injunction prohibiting the district from demolishing South Park until trial.
