You may have heard that there’s a new Carmel schools-related PAC in town: it’s called Friends of Carmel Schools, and we want to be clear that it is a separate entity from and unaffiliated with Support CCS. The new PAC’s mission is to promote passage of the referendum that will be on the ballot this fall. Support CCS remains committed to electing school board candidates who will fulfill the mission and guiding principles of Carmel Clay Schools.

At the same time, Support CCS recognizes the vital importance of the referendum to continue funding our schools at a level that will maintain the district’s outstanding instruction, programming, and services for years to come.

We encourage you to learn more about the referendum and its impact.

Vote YES for Carmel Clay Schools. Great Schools. Strong Community.

Our annual Back-to-School fundraiser is back! 🎉

With all three of our endorsed school board candidates running unopposed this year, Support CCS doesn't need to raise campaign funds. But because this fundraiser has become such a meaningful tradition, we're keeping it going.

100% of proceeds will benefit Friends of CCS PAC and its efforts supporting the 2026 Carmel Clay Schools operating referendum.

Our mission at Support CCS has not changed. We remain focused on identifying and endorsing outstanding school board candidates. While we're not involved in the referendum campaign, we're grateful to continue supporting our schools in a way that reflects this year's needs.

For a $20 donation per teacher or staff member, we'll deliver a Nothing Bundt Cakes Bundtlet and your personalized note directly to their school on Monday, August 17, just in time to brighten their day after the first week back!

You can:
✅ Choose your favorite flavor
✅ Write a heartfelt or funny note
✅ Order for multiple teachers and staff members

Order now through Wednesday, August 12!

📣 Support CCS is proud to endorse our 2026 Carmel Clay School Board candidates:

Stephanie Flittner - District 1
Jennifer Cashin – District 2
Michele Kirby - District 3

While each candidate is unopposed this November, our endorsement remains just as meaningful.

Support CCS exists to help our community identify school board leaders who are committed to strong public schools, thoughtful governance, fiscal responsibility, and putting students first. Our external team of vetters unanimously believed these three candidates have demonstrated those qualities through their service, leadership, and commitment to the success of Carmel Clay Schools.

An uncontested race doesn't diminish the importance of school board leadership. The decisions our board makes affect every student, educator, family, and taxpayer in our community, and we're grateful these candidates have stepped forward to continue serving.

We invite you to learn more about each endorsed candidate and why Support CCS believes they are the right leaders for Carmel Clay Schools: https://www.supportccs.org/meet-the-candidates

Happy Fourth of July!

As we honor our nation’s independence — and prepare for America’s 250th birthday — we’re reflecting on how deeply our schools shape the future of our country.

Public education gives every child the opportunity to learn, lead, and contribute to the next 250 years of American progress.

Enjoy a safe and celebratory Fourth!
