Beverly Hills Unified School District (BHUSD) Superintendent Dr. Alex Cherniss began his tenure in April. Now, as he looks ahead to his first full year leading the district, his focus, he told the Courier in an exclusive interview, is on student achievement and academic rigor.
“When I got here, one of the things I noticed was that we had a lot of kids that weren’t at grade level … we’re going to close those achievement gaps,” he said, “and that’s going to be the primary focus this year.”
