Dear Parents and CUSD employees: A Chicago colleague asked recently, โWhat is the name of your new school district?โ โCarmel Unified,โ I responded. โUnified? โ she inquired as though she had misheard. I quickly responded, โYes, 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 itโs actually pre-K to grade 12, but itโs about the same thing as a unit district.โ
