Beverly Hills Unified pauses most nonresident enrollments after state wildfire order; limits openings to students who lost homes

The Beverly Hills Unified School District said Monday it would stop admitting nonresident students under a temporary interpretation of Gov. Gavin Newsom—s Executive Order N-6-25, except in cases where families can show their homes were destroyed or are uninhabitable.

President Marcus opened the board discussion about the order and enrollment by summarizing the board—s direction: "We are stopping the enrollment of non resident students," she said, adding an exception "unless they can prove that they have lost their home" or the home is inaccessible.

Superintendent Dr. Breggi told the board district staff had evaluated each applicant—s transcript and found 47 displaced students enrolled across ninth through 12th grades. "We have about 47 displaced students across all 4 high school levels at, ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade," he said, and warned that taking additional students would require hiring new teachers and adding sections.
