Alberto Carvalho is resigning from his post as LAUSD Superintendent. The Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education confirmed that Carvalho has submitted his letter of resignation. Carvalho's decision comes just months after the FBI raided his home and his office. Carvalho was placed on paid administrative leave on February 27, 2026 – which was about two days after the FBI raid. The investigation was believed to have stemmed from Carvalho's ties to AllHere, the failed company that led an AI-chatbot project for the LAUSD schools.
He had been the district's superintendent since 2022. LAUSD's Board issued the following statement in response to the news of Carvalho trying to leave "The Board remains steadfast in its commitment to ensuring stability, continuity, and continued progress through strong leadership. Our focus remains unchanged: providing every student with a high-quality education, supporting our dedicated workforce, and maintaining the trust of the communities we serve." In the meantime, Andrés Chait will be acting Superintendent until a permanent decision is made, LAUSD's Board said in a statement.
On Monday, Chait toured the Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools in Koreatown for the first day of summer school for the district. He later spoke to the media following the tour and answered questions about Carvahlo's resignation. "What I can say to parents, and I say this as a parent myself and in this program, today is a testament to that we always maintain a focus on our students and so regardless of whatever may be going on with transitions and leadership as you stated, it’s really about the kids and making sure that we have programs that suits families that they can take part in," Chait said.
