An Oct. 23 Decision of Appeal from the California Department of Education (CDE) found sufficient facts and evidence to support an allegation of race-based bullying and a racially hostile environment at Beverly Vista Middle School (BVMS).
The decision came following a complaint filed with the district in December 2024 by Victoria Tate, the parent of a student who attended BVMS. The complaint described an incident in November 2024 during which, among other things, a racial slur was used in a classroom followed by a student pointing at a group of Black students, including Tate’s child.
