A news article published by the Beverly Press on Dec. 29, 2022, attached below provides quotes from the BHUSD Supt. that exposes the indifference of the school district to the life ruining injuries suffered by the childhood sexual assault survivors of Hank Friedman, and why students are still under threat 40 years later.
Beverly Press, December 29, 2022: "Lawsuit against former BHHS coach set for February trial"
From the article, MICHAEL BREGY, BHUSD SUPERINTENDENT:
"Subsequently, civil lawsuits were filed against the district seeking financial damages for alleged sexual misconduct by a former teacher that purportedly occurred in the late 1970s. This teacher has not been an employee of BHUSD for 40 years,” Bregy said. “The district takes all allegations of sexual misconduct against students seriously. While the district trusts the legal process will provide justice to all parties involved, the safety and wellbeing of our students continue to be our highest priority. BHUSD encourages the entire school community, including employees, parents and students, to report any concerning behavior as soon as it is identified to ensure immediate action can be taken.”
Petition Update Note: Children are still not safe from sex predators in the Beverly Hills Unified School District. because Supt. reported inappropriate adult sexual misconduct by a teacher in May 2022 and appears to have provided no public updates to Beverly Press or other news organizations about what happened, and how it will be prevented from happening again. We apologize if incorrect about this important information needed by the public from Supt. Bregy.
