Carvalho Resigns Amid Probe

Alberto Carvalho resigned as superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District, ending his tenure atop the nation’s second-largest school system after months on paid administrative leave during a federal investigation. The resignation followed FBI searches earlier this year at his San Pedro home, district headquarters and, according to some reports, a related Miami location. Carvalho denied wrongdoing and said he was stepping down to avoid distracting from student learning, while investigators have not publicly detailed the full scope of the probe. The inquiry has been linked in part to a failed AI chatbot contract, intensifying scrutiny of district leadership and procurement decisions.
