The Beverly Hills Unified School District (BHUSD) confirmed on March 6 that Romeo Carey has returned to his role as an instructor for KBEV, the district’s student-run broadcast journalism program. As reported by the Courier, ever since Carey was placed on paid administrative leave in December of 2024, students and parents have made a vocal showing of support on his behalf.
An exclusive statement to the Courier from BHUSD indicates, “While [Carey’s] reinstatement comes after a period of administrative review, the district’s primary focus remains on supporting students and fostering a productive learning environment.”
“We are committed to ensuring the continued success of our students in all academic and extracurricular programs,” said BHUSD Board President Rachelle Marcus in the statement. “KBEV has a long history of excellence, and we look forward to seeing our students thrive as they continue their work in journalism, media production, and broadcasting.”
The statement continues, “Moving forward, BHUSD will continue to work with all faculty, students, and stakeholders to maintain a structured, professional, and student-focused learning environment. Our goal is to provide KBEV students with the resources, mentorship, and educational integrity necessary to prepare them for careers in media and beyond.”
