Beverly Hills Unified School District (BHUSD) Board of Education President Mary Wells has been appointed to the Executive Board of the Los Angeles County School Trustees Association (LACSTA), where she will serve a one-year term as Secretary-Treasurer. Created in 1937 by the county superintendent of schools, LACSTA is an organization comprised of school board members with trustees from nearly 90% of school and community college districts in the county. LACSTA, which operates under the auspices of the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE), offers training, information, and networking opportunities to school board members. Board Vice President, Noah Margo, was selected by the board earlier this year to serve as the annual representative to the LACSTA for BHUSD.
“It’s really about sharing information, understanding what the issues are that the different districts are facing, and then bringing speakers or addressing those kinds of broader issues,” Wells told the Courier.
