On Dec. 16, before the winter break began, Carmel Unified School District announced Carmel High School Principal Jonathan Lyons was placed on a leave of absence.  Since it's a personnel matter, district officials say they cannot share the details about Lyons' leave of absence, but Superintendent Ted Knight confirms two things it is not: It isn't related to Lyons' health nor to an inappropriate relationship with a student.During Lyons' absence assistant principals Craig Tuana and Debbie Puente will lead the school, with extra district support.
