Community Mobilizes in Response to $1 Million Discrimination Lawsuit Against Carmel Unified School District
Stand with Us for a Safer, More Inclusive Education Environment
Recent developments have brought to light troubling concerns within the Carmel Unified School District. Significant federal findings and legal actions reveal systemic issues that demand our collective attention and action.
In 2024, the U.S. Department of Education identified Carmel Unified for violating federal civil rights protections due to its inadequate response to antisemitic harassment affecting students. This serious oversight underscores the urgent need for meaningful change within our school community.
Adding to the gravity of the situation, the district is currently facing multiple legal proceedings, including a notable $1 million discrimination lawsuit that names Superintendent Sharon Ofek personally. This case highlights concerns about leadership accountability and the district’s commitment to fostering a safe and respectful environment for all students.
As members of the community—parents, educators, and residents—we are united in our call for transparency and reform. We encourage everyone to support efforts to ensure our schools uphold justice and kindness.
Take a stand with us by signing the petition demanding the administrative leave of Superintendent Sharon Ofek pending an independent review:
