The motion to approve the iPad purchase was withdrawn by the mover so staff could provide additional documentation.

Why this matters: Trustees asked staff to explain how devices are currently used in the earliest grades, how many working devices exist in campus storage, what restrictions will be applied to limit non-educational use (YouTube, games, etc.), and which funding source would pay for the purchase given pressure on bond and general funds.

Key points from the discussion
- Trustees questioned why more devices were needed when district staff said there were previously unused iPads in TK classrooms and some devices had been reallocated to other campus needs.
- Board members requested a grade-level breakdown and specifics on how many devices are broken versus unavailable; they asked for details about replacement cycles and the district'019s device-refresh strategy. The IT director said the proposed purchase included 10 teacher units and 40 replacement units to address breakage and reserve needs.
- Several trustees said they would support the purchase once staff supplied concrete inventory numbers, a plan for limitations on app access and content, and a refresh schedule tied to a clear educational objective (for example, differentiation of reading levels or special-education access).

Outcome
- The board did not approve the iPad purchase and the motion to purchase was withdrawn. Staff was asked to return with: an itemized inventory of existing devices, a breakdown of grade-level device assignments, a concrete educational rationale for the purchase, device-management and content-filtering settings, and the funding source to pay for any purchase.

Speakers and staff
- Sandy (IT Director) — described Jamf device-management use, breakage rates, and that 10 of the requested units were for teachers with 40 for replacements; explained ongoing work with technology committee to set application access by age.
- Trustee Marcus, Trustee Stewart and Trustee Sabag — asked for the inventory, usage and refresh details.

Why this matters: School leaders told the board the pilot aims to expand students' conflict-resolution skills, create a peer-led mediation structure and reduce the use of suspensions and other exclusionary discipline by providing structured alternatives run by trained students with staff supervision.

Program design and scope
- The proposed program provides training to both staff and students and is tailored to the high school campus by KMC instructors. The curriculum was developed in partnership with Pepperdine Law School mediation programs and other justice partners; the vendor brings an established mediation curriculum that trains students to act as mediators under supervision.
- The pilot will be funded from the high school site budget (Resource 10) and run initially for three school terms, with data collection and evidence-based monitoring of outcomes to determine whether to expand districtwide. Board members and staff emphasized that the pilot does not create a standalone elective initially but could be integrated into existing programs such as wellness center activities, peer counseling, service-learning, ASB or Link Crew.

Board discussion and conditions
- Trustees asked whether training would happen during class time, as an elective, or integrated with other campus programs. District staff said the program could be delivered in several ways depending on campus scheduling and would be tailored to the school site team’s needs.
- Trustees asked for examples of evaluation metrics. Staff and the vendor said KMC will collect data to measure impact, including the effect on suspension counts and bullying incidents, and will tailor measurements to the high school context.
- The board confirmed the pilot was site-budget funded and that the agreement was consistent with district procurement rules for that funding source.

Quote
- Assistant Principal Decaturale (presenting): \"The need really is to create a comprehensive approach to our intervention support and social emotional learning...we don't have the student voice, the student-led piece solidified yet.\"

Next steps
- The pilot will begin if staff completes vendor onboarding and the school site finalizes the rollout plan; the vendor and site administrators will present progress reports and data on impact to the board.

Speakers (officials)
- Assistant Principal Decaturale — presented rationale and program details
- Dr. Stern, Trustee — asked procedural and programmatic questions
- Scott Hasty — Acting Superintendent (commented on site-funded pilot funding approach)

Why this matters: Parents said teachers are being pulled repeatedly from classrooms for professional development, training, or bargaining activities, leaving students with inconsistent substitute coverage. The Beverly Hills Educators Association, which led public comments, asked the board to provide bargaining parameters and to deliver a signed contract by June 1 so educators have compensation certainty before summer.

Public comments and requests
- Rochelle Hacock Lavi, a parent, described ongoing and repeated teacher absences at her children’s schools over the last two years, saying the substitutes ‘‘aren’t helpful’’ for continuity of instruction and asking the district to find alternatives to repeated in-class training days.
- Natalie Unesi, another parent at El Rodeo, said substitute shortages forced teachers to redistribute students among other classrooms and increased stress for staff; she asked the board to consider training sessions scheduled outside instructional hours.
- Catherine (Katie) Warren, president of the Beverly Hills Educators Association, spoke for union members and called for a contract signed by June 1 that includes a reasonable salary increase and improved benefits; Warren noted recruitment and retention pressure from high housing costs in the region and urged the board to give bargaining guidance to speed a settlement.
- Leah Yadegar and other parents urged the district to minimize use of instructional time for contractual bargaining and professional development where possible, suggesting that training be scheduled in non-instructional hours or offered on different days to avoid pulling teachers from classrooms.

Board and staff response
- Trustees and district staff acknowledged the concerns and discussed ongoing efforts to increase substitute pools, clarify scheduling for professional learning and review options such as dedicated paid days for training rather than widespread in-class releases.
- Trustees asked staff for data on substitute availability, time-on-task measurements for technology and device usage, and plans to limit unsupervised student screen time where devices are used as instructional tools.

Quotes
- Catherine Warren, BHEA president: \"A signed contract by the end of the school year is not just a formality. It's an essential step toward maintaining the trust and partnership between the district and its educators.\" (public comment)

What the board asked staff to do
- Provide more information on substitute staffing and district plans to schedule professional learning with minimal disruption.
- Clarify bargaining timelines and provide the union and public with expected next steps; BHEA requested parameters that would speed bargaining and asked the board to expedite counter-offers.

Next steps
- The board and district staff said they will continue bargaining discussions with BHEA and supply parents with updated information about substitute staffing, training schedules and any changes to district professional-learning timing.

The board approved the three-year employment agreement for Chernis with a starting annual salary of $350,000 and additional monthly and annual stipends described during the reading of the contract terms before the vote. The board’s formal roll call on the motion produced a 5-0 vote in favor of the agreement.

Why this matters: The board’s action installs a permanent superintendent after a period of interim leadership and sets personnel and compensation terms that will shape senior leadership and district priorities as new facilities and programs come online later this year.

What the board approved (selected highlights)
- Employment agreement: Dr. Alex Chernis, superintendent of Beverly Hills Unified School District, effective 2025-06-01; starting annual salary $350,000; fringe benefits and stipends described on the record; vote 5-0.
- Acceptance of audits: The board accepted the 2023–24 Measure E and Measure BH performance audit prepared by Moss Adams LLP and the Measure E/BH financial bond audit prepared by Christy White (no exceptions reported in the financial opinion); motion seconded and passed on voice/roll call.
- Technology and IT contracts: The board approved a one-year ClearPass network/appliance service to support the district’s network operations (bid/contract awarding and roll call vote in favor). Several AV and technology purchases for the Beverly Hills High School performing-arts wing were approved using cooperative purchasing agreements (Extron, Avidex, and other vendors); board voted to approve those agreements.
- Construction and site contracts: The board awarded bid work for freight-elevator repairs at Beverly Hills High School and approved an amendment for environmental monitoring at Building C; the board accepted the notice of completion for the Horace Mann ornamental fence project and released retention.
- Student-related settlement reported: The board’s closed-session report noted approval of a student settlement, Case No. 2025010298; the reported vote in that closed session was 4–0.

Quotes and context
- Acting Superintendent Scott Hasty read the closed-session item into the public record: \"Yes, we did approve a settlement agreement for a student. Case number is 2025010298 and the vote was 4 to 0.\" This was reported under the required closed-session disclosure at the start of the meeting.
- During the public comment period, several speakers welcomed the selection of Dr. Chernis and described their hopes for district unity and programmatic innovation. Catherine Warren, president of the Beverly Hills Educators Association, urged a signed labor contract by June 1 and stressed the need for improved compensation and benefits for teachers.

What the agreement with Alex Chernis includes (as read on the record before the vote)
- Term: three years, beginning June 1, 2025 (Education Code allows a maximum four-year superintendent contract).
- Salary: starting annual salary of $350,000.
- Benefits: \"The superintendent shall receive all fringe benefits, vacation, sick leave, and holidays offered to other senior district administrators...\" (read aloud during the meeting), plus a monthly administrative stipend and an annual doctoral stipend as disclosed before the vote.

Next steps and implementation
- Chernis is scheduled to begin June 1, 2025. The board and district staff said they will work with him on transition planning and next-year priorities including the opening of the performing-arts wing and athletic projects. Several approved contracts put vendors or services into place so work and monitoring can proceed this spring and summer.
