NOW PLAYING
(KTLA) – Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto Carvalho has submitted his resignation to the district and members of the Board of Education, district officials have confirmed to Nexstar’s KTLA.
His departure comes nearly four months after FBI agents raided his home and district office as part of an investigation tied to school district contracts and a failed artificial intelligence chatbot project connected to the district.
“It has been a great honor to serve you,” Carvalho wrote in a resignation letter addressed to students, families, teachers and staff, according to the Los Angeles Times. He added that he stepped down to allow schools to remain focused on students and learning “without distraction.”
LAUSD, the nation’s second-largest school district, placed Carvalho on paid administrative leave shortly after the Feb. 25 raids.
Federal authorities have not announced any criminal charges against the now-former superintendent. However, the investigation is focused at least in part on his interactions with contractors connected to AllHere, a now-defunct company that developed an AI-powered chatbot known as “Ed” for LAUSD.
Alberto Carvalho, superintendent of LAUSD, the second-largest school district in the nation, has resigned from his position amid an ongoing FBI investigation. (KTLA) The project was promoted as a tool to help families navigate educational services but was abandoned after the company collapsed.
Carvalho has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
Carvalho arrived in Los Angeles in 2022 after leading Miami-Dade County Public Schools for 14 years and was widely credited with improving test scores, graduation rates and student achievement following the COVID-19 pandemic.
During his tenure, the district also navigated a major cyberattack, labor unrest, declining enrollment and scrutiny over spending tied to the chatbot initiative.
The Times reported that Carvalho’s contract was renewed last year. It remains unclear whether his resignation includes a negotiated financial settlement with the district. His employment agreement reportedly provided for a minimum 12-month payout if he were terminated without cause.
KTLA has reached out to LAUSD for comment and is awaiting a response.
