BHUSD Board Candidates Continue Campaigning
Almost 1,500 residents have already voted by mail in the Nov. 8 election for three seats on the Board of Education.
The election for three seats on Beverly Hills Unified School District school board is less than a week away and the four candidates are campaigning to the very end as they try to bring in voters. They are out walking the streets, according to their websites, and some are still holding meet-and-greet coffees.
Board Vice President , El Rodeo parent , educator and producer and Beverly Vista parent are running in the Nov. 8 election. Margo is trying to become only the second Beverly Hills resident in recent memory to win an election as a write-in candidate.
At least one-third of the expected electorate has already cast their ballot. The Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk’s office has received 1,478 vote-by-mail ballots, an increase of about 400 ballots from the week before, spokeswoman Marcia Ventura told Patch Thursday. Historically, only 15 to 20 percent of the city’s 21,000 registered voters vote in board elections.
