Following a wide-ranging discussion about class sizes across the district, the Beverly Hills Unified School District (BHUSD) Board of Education on July 10 agreed to add a new Transitional Kindergarten (TK) class at Horace Mann Elementary School and discussed adding a fourth-grade class at El Rodeo Elementary School.
The fourth-grade class at El Rodeo has been the subject of numerous parent concerns, who have complained about behavioral issues and large class sizes. There are currently three planned fourth-grade sections at El Rodeo, each approaching 29 students, though Superintendent Dr. Michael Bregy said enrollment numbers fluctuate, and it is hard to predict if spaces will open by the start of classes.
