In the upcoming Nov. 8 General Election, Beverly Hills residents will vote into office two new governing board members to the Beverly Hills Unified School District (BHUSD) Board of Education. While candidates cannot officially file with the Los Angeles County Registrar’s Office until the filing period, which runs from July 18 through Aug. 12, sitting board member Rachelle Marcus has announced she will run for her second term. The terms of Marcus and Gabriel Halimi, who was appointed last year after the resignation of Tristen Walker-Shuman, both expire this December. Although Halimi has indicated that he will not run, the Courier is aware of at least one other member of the community poised to enter the race.
Marcus will be the sole incumbent up for reelection. The longtime resident of Beverly Hills served as an educator for over 50 years in all five BHUSD schools.
