Michelle Dar has withdrawn her application to be the Assistant Principal of Beverly Vista Middle School. In a communication to the Beverly Hills Unified School District community last week, Superintendent Dr. Michael Bregy announced Dar’s appointment to that position, pending board approval. At the June 4 BHUSD Board of Education Meeting, the motion to confirm Dar’s appointment was tabled with no explanation given.
On June 6, Dar responded to an inquiry from the Courier with an email that read: “I’ve withdrawn my application for the Assistant Principal position at BVMS. I’ve spent 20 years as an educator and administrator at BHUSD, and another 10 years before that as a student here. Unfortunately, I don’t believe there’s enough alignment between my vision for BVMS and my values, and that of certain trustees, and I can’t properly serve the students and families of this district without that alignment.” She will remain part of the BHUSD community in her role as an academic coach.
