The future of South Park Middle school is still in the hands of a Beaumont Judge.

After two days of testimony, no decision has been made about the school's future.

At one point today, the courtroom was standing room only as the two sides waited to hear the school's fate.

A temporary restraining order was filed to stop the demolition of the school. A group of former students and the Beaumont Heritage Society want to save the building.

The Beaumont Independent School District wants to tear it down and build a new campus.

One attorney argues the district hasn't considered the cost of renovating versus the cost of a new building. Hearings continue Thursday.
