District Superintendent Dr. Michael Bregy also welcomed the new Assistant Principal at Hawthorne Elementary School Dr. Christine Kim and shared the appointment of Drew Stewart and Kim Decatrel to serve as Beverly Hills High School (BHHS) interim Co-Principals for next year. Stewart and Decatrel will take over Mark Mead’s role, who now serves as Director of School Safety.
While the Cabinet also discussed the possibility of renewed indoor mask mandates, county public health officials announced on July 28 that the mandate would not be imposed. “I wish I had an update for you, I don’t,” Bregy said regarding the possibility of a renewed mask mandate. “I know that the city has put out information about indoor masking. Ours is a little different from the city, so we’re waiting for L.A. County to find out what we’re doing.”
