Risa Carp is an English teacher at Belmont High School in Massachusetts, as documented in school yearbooks (2008, 2012), staff directories, and committee minutes (e.g., November 17, 2020). Born on October 21, 1972 (age 53 as of 2026), she resides at 169 Fairfield St, Needham, MA 02492, and is married to Noah Carp, with whom she has two children: Ari Carp (born January 29, 2002) and Rebecca Carp. Her father-in-law, Joseph Carp, passed away on February 4, 2026, in Warminster, Pennsylvania. Active in the Jewish community, she and her husband have donated to Temple Aliyah in Needham (2021-2022, across multiple funds including Atid, Community Caring, General, High Holiday Appeal, Kesher, and Welcome the Stranger), Hebrew College, and contributed to the Nish'ma publication on welcoming guests; she also served as a contact for Camp Ramah's Shoafim group in 2016. As a Jewish educator, Carp publicly raised concerns about antisemitic and anti-Israel materials in the Massachusetts Teachers Association (MTA). She quit the MTA in December 2023 over a board resolution likening Israel's actions against Hamas to a 'genocidal war on the Palestinian people' and biased learning resources. In a March 13, 2025, Boston Globe article, she criticized the MTA for insufficient removals of such materials despite pledges, noting that most teachers lack nuance to identify biases, and expressed wishes for focus on wages and conditions.
