Editing Bevil Oaks, Texas (section)

== Education ==
From its inception until 2018, Bevil Oaks was served by the [[Beaumont Independent School District]]. However, on March 5, 2018, Mike Morath, the Texas Commissioner of Education, signed an order granting detachment from Beaumont ISD and annexation into Hardin-Jefferson Independent School District.  Citizens of Bevil Oaks presented a petition for detachment to Beaumont ISD on April 20, 2017.  The same petition requesting annexation was presented to Hardin-Jefferson ISD on May 1, 2017.  Beaumont ISD denied the citizens' request, where H-J ISD gave their approval.  A subsequent appeal was filed by the citizens with the Texas Education Agency on June 23, 2017.  An Administrative Law Judge in Austin ruled in December 2017 that the citizens' request for detachment was legal.   Beaumont ISD reached an agreement with petitioners the week of March 5, 2018 that ultimately granted detachment of the small community.

Effective July 1, 2018, the city of Bevil Oaks will be served by the Hardin-Jefferson Independent School District.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Teitz|first1=Liz|title=Beaumont ISD releases Bevil Oaks to Hardin Jefferson ISD|url=https://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/article/Beaumont-ISD-releases-Bevil-Oaks-to-12739319.php|website=The Beaumont Enterprise}}</ref>
