The Beverly Hills Unified School District (BHUSD) Board of Education has put out a request looking for a new manager of the district’s bond program in a 4-1 vote. The move marks the latest chapter in a saga that has seen the public and members of the board sour on the program’s current manager, Team Concept Development Services (TCDS), run by owner Don Blake.
“At best, I have found our current process, systems and information we are receiving regarding the state of our construction program to be opaque,” Board member Gabriel Halimi, who was absent for the meeting but explained his vote in a detailed letter, wrote. “Just over the last few months, we’ve found ourselves surprised, confused and frustrated. And given the fact that we’re over budget and delayed in delivery, there are questions that need clear answers.”
