The Beverly Hills Unified School District (BHUSD) Board of Trustees agreed to implement weekly testing of students within the district, stopping short of requiring vaccination for those eligible. The Sept. 14 meeting prompted passionate feelings from parents concerned with the health of their children.
As of press time, there have been 17 students in the district who have tested positive for COVID-19 and seven staff. While the majority of positive cases among students have been at the high school, Hawthorne Elementary reported its first student case this week.
