Alberto Carvalho, superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District, resigned Sunday. His resignation follows months after the FBI raided his home and office in February as part of a criminal investigation concerning the district’s dealings with an AI start-up.
Carvalho was appointed in 2021, taking charge of the nation’s second-largest school district. Prior to his resignation, he was placed on paid leave starting February 27. This decision came from the board of education in an effort to mitigate the growing unrest surrounding the investigation.
The question of who will succeed him remains unanswered. Currently, Andres Chait, a seasoned administrator within the Los Angeles Unified School District, has been serving as the acting superintendent since Carvalho went on leave.
The resignation was immediate and conveyed to the district and school board members through a formal letter. This development was first reported by The Los Angeles Times. Carvalho has not provided any comments on Sunday.
Back in March, his legal representatives argued that Carvalho had not committed any wrongdoing and emphasized his eagerness to return. They asserted that no evidence had been brought forth by prosecutors to support any claims that Carvalho violated federal laws.
