The Beverly Hills Unified School District will not display the Israeli flag on its campuses, the superintendent said in an Aug. 29 announcement, overriding the board of education’s vote days earlier.
“In light of heightened safety concerns around the displaying of flags on our campuses I have made the decision to take immediate action for the safety and security of our students,” Superintendent Alex Cherniss said in a statement to media outlets. “Until further notice, no flags will be displayed on our campuses other than the flag of the United States of America and the flag of the State of California.”
