On Feb. 12, Rabbi Sidney “Simcha” Green, Dr. Julian Gold, Lili Bosse, Lori Greene Gordon, Robin Rowe and Aimee Zeltzer joined BHUSD students for a City Council candidate forum in the Jon Cherney Lecture Hall at Beverly Hills High School.

The event was moderated by members of the Teen Beverly Hills Education Foundation and the Interact Club of Beverly Hills High School. All six candidates running for one of two seats on the Beverly Hills City Council attended.

In preparation for the event, members of Teen BHEF and the Interact Club canvassed fellow students to gather questions that would be posed to the candidates.

The student-led forum gave BHUSD students the opportunity to hear where the candidates stood on issues most important to them and have their voices heard.

Election Day is March 3.
