With the number of positive COVID-19 numbers among students and staff holding steadily in the single digits, the Beverly Hills Unified School District (BHUSD) Board of Education turned its attention to new wellness initiatives, student accomplishments and graduation plans.
At its March 22 meeting, the board supported a reduction in single use plastic water bottles sold on campus, solicited volunteers to review school cafeteria food on the new Wellness Committee, and heard a COVID-19 update. Since adopting a “your mask, your choice” stance on March 12, the district reported one active positive case among all students, and four among staff on March 22. “Today is day seven of the optional masking, and we’ve not seen any indication at all that there has been an increase to our COVID-19 cases,” BHUSD Superintendent Dr. Michael Bregy told the board.
