Carpinteria Family School will permanently close in June, the Carpinteria Unified School Board confirmed last week.
It’s a fate that families saw coming, but it was frowned upon nevertheless.
“Overall, I think parents are disappointed but were resigned to this outcome after the vote last June,” said Jack Mohr, a Family School parent. He was referencing the board’s June 2025 vote to prune classes and staff in preparation for a permanent closure .
