Beverly Hills Courier, Beverly Hills Newspaper, News, Celebrity, 90211, 90210: Report And Analysis: Challenges, Concealment, Consequences —The BHUSD:

"The single most pressing issue confronting the Beverly Hills Unified School District is management. That is the major issue confronting voters in selecting two members of our board of education. Like every issue, there is more than one side to the story.

A contrite Myra Lurie told us, “Are we supposed to treat our staff like the enemy?” when discussing the Strategic Concepts/Karen Christiansen fiasco and related issues of school district management. In a reasonable world, the answer would be “no.” Unfortunately, in the Beverly Hills Unified School District, the answer today is “yes.” That answer must determine the future of our school district, now flush with hundreds of millions of unspent dollars and a budget replenished by City money.

What is going on here?"
