It is with great enthusiasm and a bit of sadness that I announce to the Husky Nation that on March 31st our Board of Education is scheduled to ratify my appointment as the next Superintendent of Schools for the Beverly Hills Unified School District.

 

I will continue as Principal of our beloved Horace Mann School for the remainder of the current school year. During that time I will be directly involved in the selection of the new Horace Mann Principal. Once the new Principal is chosen, I will work closely with the new Principal to ensure an easy transition.

 

In addition, I will continue to closely monitor the ongoing construction project as your Principal and the Superintendent until the project is complete. I am happy to report that the project continues to be on schedule with a completion date of late Spring 2016.  

On another note, Assistant Principal Jill Bakhsh, will be taking a leave of absence beginning Wednesday, March 25th in anticipation of the birth of her child. We are very excited for Mrs. Bakhsh but will miss her greatly. I am happy to announce that in her place beginning immediately after our Spring break will be the return of former Horace Mann Assistant Principal, Mrs. Dana Findley.

 

Being that I began my teaching career at Horace Mann School in 1976, I will greatly miss being involved in the day-to-day activities of the school once I assume the position of Superintendent of schools. However, once a husky, always a husky and I will always hold Horace Mann School close to my heart. Thank you in advance for all the years of support you have given me in my efforts to make Horace Mann School one of the finest schools in the entire nation.

Due to the rapid pace of our construction, beginning Wednesday, March 25th the construction barricade will be extended to the curb along the north side of Charleville Blvd. The barricade will extend from our entrance to the playground up to the corner of Charleville Blvd. and Robertson Dr. This will obviously impact pickup and drop off of your children. Signs will be posted that no pickup or drop off will be allowed in that area for the next 12 months. The contractor is taking this measure to insure the safety of our students and others.
