The Beverly Hills Unified School District (BHUSD) Board of Trustees has agreed to initiate an investigation into the residency status of its vice president, Tristen Walker-Shuman. Questions about Walker-Shuman surfaced publicly when an anonymous complaint was filed last month with the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office and other entities. The complaint contained detailed allegations and accompanying exhibits that purport to show that Walker-Shuman has moved from Beverly Hills to Pennsylvania. Walker-Shuman has maintained that she remains a legal resident of Beverly Hills.
At the end of its Sept. 14 meeting, BHUSD Board President Rachelle Marcus announced that a closed session agreement had been reached to “initiate an investigation with a private counsel to look into the matter of Mrs. Walker-Shuman’s residency.”
