Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) Superintendent Alberto Carvalho has resigned from his role, effective June 21, 2026. The resignation comes as the FBI continues to investigate Carvalho, with raids on his home and office earlier this year.

Investigation and Resignation

Carvalho’s resignation is intended to remove distraction from student learning, he said in a statement. The FBI investigation is believed to be tied to a failed multimillion-dollar AI school contract and potential conflict-of-interest concerns.

Carvalho had been superintendent of LAUSD since 2022 and was unanimously reappointed in fall 2025. During his tenure, he highlighted several “historic” achievements, including record-breaking graduation rates and improved academic performance.

Reaction and Next Steps

The LAUSD Board has issued a statement saying it remains dedicated to maintaining public trust and ensuring stability and continuity in the district. Acting Superintendent Andrés E. Chait will continue to lead the district until a permanent decision is made.
