LAUSD superintendent resigns after FBI raids home, district office
The board named an acting superintendent after Carvalho said he was stepping down to keep schools focused on students as a federal probe continues.
- Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto Carvalho resigned Sunday, June 21, 2026, ending his four-year tenure amid an ongoing federal investigation.
- The resignation follows February FBI raids on Carvalho's home and office, which authorities conducted as part of a corruption probe involving potential kickbacks from a business.
- Before the contract collapsed, LAUSD paid $3 million for an AI-powered chatbot called "Ed"; founder Joanna Smith-Griffin later faced federal charges for securities and wire fraud.
- LAUSD's Board issued a statement pledging to maintain stability, with veteran administrator Andres Chait continuing as interim acting superintendent during the transition.
- The district remains under intense federal scrutiny, facing at least two investigations while navigating pressure from United Teachers Los Angeles and Service Employees International Union Local 99 for new leadership.
