David Cienfuegos

As a parent of three BHUSD students, an attorney, and an education advocate, I am running for the Beverly Hills Unified School District Board of Education to strengthen academic excellence, support our teachers, and ensure every decision serves students' best interests. For the past two years, I served on the Principal's Advisory Council, working with school leadership and parents to gain insight into the needs of students, parents, and educators. This experience has reinforced my belief that strong schools require high expectations, engaged families, exceptional teachers, and accountable leadership. BHUSD must remain focused on rigorous instruction in reading, writing, mathematics, science, history, and critical thinking. I will advocate for effective tutoring and enrichment, strong academic standards, and technology only when it clearly improves learning. In TK–8, classrooms should prioritize teachers, books, writing, discussion, creativity, and human interaction, not unnecessary dependence on screens. I will also promote responsible fiscal oversight, transparent decision-making, measurable goals, and clear communication. My legal, business, community, and school leadership experience has prepared me to ask difficult questions and make principled decisions. I respectfully ask for your vote for David Cienfuegos for the Beverly Hills Unified School District Board of Education.
