Good morning, Beaumont.

Beaumont Police officers seized nearly 579 kg of suspected cocaine during a traffic stop at 7:25 a.m. near the 832 mile marker on Interstate 10 on Thursday morning and arrested 43-year-old Kedra Parker of Florida, whose bond was set at $750,000 on Friday afternoon—investigation continues.

Treva Johnson, 48, is running for the Beaumont ISD school board District 3 seat and she plans to connect students with STEM and fine arts professionals to show them real career paths.

She also aims to review academic programs to fix campus issues from last year — and she questions spending nearly $70,000 on a motivational speaker while urging more transparency and community seminars to boost enrollment.
