On April 21, the Beverly Hills Unified School District (BHUSD) Board of Education held a Special Meeting to officially expand in-person instruction to five days a week for all grade levels. At the meeting, the Board approved Addendum #7 of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for 2020-2021 school year between the District and the Beverly Hills Education Association (Association), which specifies the return dates to full day instruction for elementary, middle and high school. Beginning April 21, elementary students enrolled in hybrid learning returned to full day in-person learning five days a week. Middle and high school students resume full time on April 26.
The move came as a result of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health revised Public Health Order, which enabled the District to increase the number of students permitted in a cohort/stable group. While the maximum size of a stable cohorts is based on the number of students that can be seated in a space while adhering to social distancing requirements, a cohort may not exceed a maximum of 30 students and two adults.
