""This hateful symbol was visible just steps away from a campus where students, staff, and families arrive to learn and feel safe. Antisemtism is not abstract, it is real, and it continues to show up in ways that are meant to intimidate. We want to be clear: hate of any kind is not acceptable," the school district said in a statement. "Above all we remain committed to ensuring that every student feels safe, seen, and supported every day.""
""Every student deserves to come to school without fear," Superintendent Alex Cherniss said in a statement. "Our district will act with transparency, responsibility, and care when hate harms our community. Your safety is our top priority.""
Police are searching for a man who drew a swastika on the sidewalk outside El Rodeo School in Beverly Hills on the first day of Rosh Hashanah. Surveillance footage captured a man in a hat and white T-shirt bending over and drawing the symbol; the swastika was removed and a police investigation is underway. The Beverly Hills Unified School District condemned the act as intimidation, emphasized that hate is unacceptable, and pledged to ensure student safety and support. The district has enhanced campus safety, surveillance, emergency training, and threat response. LAPD increased patrols around Jewish worship and community centers during the High Holy Days.
