A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge has ordered the deposition of Beverly Hills Unified School District (BHUSD) Board President Judy Manouchehri, Vice President Sigalie Sabag, Board Member Russell Stuart, and the district itself through its “person most knowledgeable” (collectively, “the defendants”).
The ruling comes in the Petition for Writ of Mandate filed by attorney Daniel Lifschitz, a district parent, against the defendants in January. In the petition, Lifschitz alleges that the BHUSD violated its own bylaws when it voted to install Sabag rather than Board Member Amanda Stern as vice president in December of 2025.
