District news
Opportunity Culture teaching model expands to nearly every school
What happened
From August 2026, all schools except the Carlsbad Enrichment Center, the Early Childhood Education Center and Early College High School use Opportunity Culture. In this model, lead teachers guide teams of teachers.
Why it matters to families
This changes how many classrooms are staffed and taught. The district also reshaped its central office around the model.
The evidence
Signed minutes of the May 12, 2026 meeting record the superintendent's report. The March 17, 2026 minutes said 9 of 12 schools would use it.
