Members wishing to address the Board are allotted THREE minutes per speaker per item or per topic which is not on the agenda. Should more than 20 people wish to address any one item or topic, the Board may elect to allot TWO minutes per speaking on that item/topic. Please note that the speaking time cannot be delegated to another person. Members should indicate the agenda item(s) or topic(s) on which they plan to speak when beginning their comments. Without taking action, Board members or District staff members may briefly respond to statements made or questions posed by the public about items not appearing on the agenda.

Second Edition of #WeAreCarmelUnified
Dear Parents and CUSD employees: A Chicago colleague asked recently, “What is the name of your new school district?” “Carmel Unified,” I responded. “Unified? ” she inquired as though she had misheard. I quickly responded, “Yes, in Chicago we would call it a Unit District. It serves students in grades K-12. Actually we also have a preschool program here, so it’s actually pre-K to grade 12, but it’s about the same thing as a unit district.”
