      Carmel Unified School District Announces Superintendent To Step Down

       

      Earlier today, the Board of Education of Carmel Unified School District received the resignation of the District’s Superintendent, Ted Knight.  The resignation was submitted pursuant to a resolution agreement between the District and Superintendent which followed the completion of an external review of the Superintendent’s actions in relation to personnel matters in mid-June.

      The Board is proud of what the District, its staff, and students have accomplished over the past two years and, with this agreement, looks forward to being able to devote its full attention once again to students and the start of the school year.  As part of the agreement the Superintendent agrees to dismiss a lawsuit he recently filed against the District.  The Superintendent will also withdraw the multiple complaints he lodged against the District. He also forgoes any additional payment or benefits under this current contract or payment for attorneys’ fees. In exchange, the District will provide him a payment derived from the value of two years of his contractual compensation including benefits and retirement, $770,000.   The District is pursuing partial contribution from its Joint Powers Authority.  The agreement immediately brings all matters between the District and Superintendent to a close with the goal of allowing the District and community to concentrate on supporting teachers and staff and continuing the student-focused work of the District.

      The Board of Education had previously named Deputy Superintendent, Sharon Ofek as Acting Superintendent.  It anticipates naming an Interim Superintendent at its upcoming August 16th meeting and beginning to discuss selection of the District’s next permanent Superintendent in September.

      El Distrito Escolar Unificado de Carmel anuncia la renuncia del superintendente


      Hoy temprano, la Junta de Educación del Distrito Escolar Unificado de Carmel recibió la renuncia del Superintendente del Distrito, Ted Knight. La renuncia se presentó conforme a un acuerdo de resolución entre el Distrito y el Superintendente que siguió a la finalización de una revisión externa de las acciones del Superintendente en relación con asuntos de personal a mediados de junio.

      La Junta está orgullosa de lo que el Distrito, su personal y los estudiantes han logrado en los últimos dos años y, con este acuerdo, espera poder dedicar toda su atención una vez más a los estudiantes y al comienzo del año escolar. Como parte del acuerdo, el Superintendente accede a desestimar una demanda que presentó recientemente contra el Distrito. El Superintendente también retirará las múltiples denuncias que presentó contra el Distrito. También renuncia a cualquier pago o beneficio adicional bajo este contrato actual o al pago de honorarios de abogados. A cambio, el Distrito le entregará un pago derivado del valor de dos años de su compensación contractual incluyendo beneficios y retiro, $770,000. El Distrito busca una contribución parcial de su Autoridad de Poderes Conjuntos. El acuerdo cierra inmediatamente todos los asuntos entre el Distrito y el Superintendente con el objetivo de permitir que el Distrito y la comunidad se concentren en apoyar a los maestros y al personal y continuar el trabajo del Distrito centrado en los estudiantes.

      La Junta de Educación había nombrado previamente a la superintendente adjunta, Sharon Ofek, como superintendente interina. Anticipa nombrar un Superintendente Interino en su próxima reunión del 16 de agosto y comenzar a discutir la selección del próximo Superintendente permanente del Distrito en septiembre.

    • 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.”
