On May 26, the Beverly Hills Unified School District (BHUSD) Board of Education held a regular board meeting during which reopening plans for fall 2020 were presented by Assistant Superintendent Dustin Seemann. The virtual six-hour meeting was broadcast live, gaining an audience replete with parents and teachers eagerly awaiting what the future holds.
Seemann presented three reopening options for the board. “We set out about two weeks ago with a question in mind,” Seemann said. “We had to disassemble a system overnight. We now have a couple of months to reassemble that system. Are we coming back to something better? What social impact do we need to consider?” Seemann, along with the newly assembled Options Committee comprised of representatives from all grade levels and campuses, have come up with and surveyed different plans for the 2020-2021 school year.
