Add The California Post on GoogleEmbattled Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto Carvalho has resigned — almost four months after the FBI raided his home and office as part of a fraud and corruption probe.
Carvalho, who held the role for just over four years, tendered his resignation Sunday and said it would be effective immediately, the Los Angeles Times reported.
“It has been a great honor to serve you,” the 61-year-old wrote in the note seen by the outlet.

“Over the past four years, together, we have made historic progress — gains that belong to our students, our educators, staff and our communities.”
In his resignation letter sent to the LAUSD, Carvalho said he didn’t want to become a “distraction” to students.

“Placing students first has always guided my work,” he said.
He made no direct reference to the ongoing FBI investigation, which sources revealed is linked to a corruption scandal from a botched AI education company, and LAUSD officials say a statement will be issued later.
The former leader of the nation’s second-largest district, who was drawing a salary of $440,000, has been on paid leave for almost four months.
LA Board of Education members voted 7-0 on Feb. 27 to put him on leave.
The unanimous decision came just two days after raids were executed at his $2.5 million San Pedro home, his office at LAUSD headquarters in downtown Los Angeles, and another location in Miami tied to the probe.

Agents armed with long rifles swooped down on the San Pedro home before the Portuguese-born official and his wife, Maria Florio Borgia Carvalho, were handcuffed and put into the back of a car, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Cellphones, computers and paper documents were seized by agents during the search.
School board members and staffers were ordered to leave the LAUSD headquarters while agents carried out their search.

In 2024, Carvalho, the former head of Miami-Dade County Public Schools in Florida, heavily touted an education technology company that developed an AI chatbot named “Ed” for the Los Angeles district to help students, calling it “a game changer.”
But less than three months after unveiling the technology and paying the company $3 million, the district dropped its dealings with AllHere, which collapsed into bankruptcy.
Months later, founder Joanna Smith-Griffin was charged with securities and wire fraud, along with identity theft. Carvalho was not named in this investigation.

The Florida raid happened at the home of Debra Kerr, a successful salesperson who has clients including AllHere.
Carvalho, who was named Superintendent of the Year in 2014, has not been charged with any crime and the LAUSD said it was cooperating with investigators.
“Mr. Carvalho respects the rule of law and the investigative process and has always acted in the best interests of students and within the bounds of the law,” a spokesperson said.
“While the government’s investigation remains ongoing, no evidence has been presented by prosecutors supporting any allegation that Mr. Carvalho violated federal law.”

Badenoch blasts 'moaning' female Labour MPs over Burnham jobs 'quota'
Kemi Badenoch has told Labour women to earn a job in Andy Burnham's Cabinet instead of demanding they are handed jobs because of their gender.
The Tory leader lashed out today amid reports that female MPs are demanding the de-facto new prime minister introduce a 50:50 gender split 'quota' in his government.
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister also complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts.
But in a scathing article in the Times today Mrs Badenoch told them to 'stop moaning' and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'.
'There are many, many reasons why you shouldn't have any Milibands in the cabinet,' she said.
'But complaining that the boys haven't given them the right jobs or that the boys are taking all the jobs, just shows that Labour's women still don't get it.'
The idea of quotas was also attacked by Baroness Jacqui Smith, Labour's Skills Minister.
Asked by Times Radio if Mr Burnham should reserve jobs for women, she said: 'No, I think what Andy Burnham should be doing is building the very best team around him to change this country.'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband (above, right, in 2010) is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts
But Mrs Badenoch told them to pipe down and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party and seen by the BBC has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs after he succeeds Sir Keir Starmer.
'We are asking you to demonstrate this change from day one and address the toxicity and misogyny within our own party and government,' it said.
Labour has never had a female leader, while the Conservatives have had three, and Mrs Badenoch urged the government to follow its meritocratic example.
'If you run a meritocracy, then you do not have to worry about jobs for the boys,' she wrote.
'Every woman who is a Conservative MP, every woman who has ever won the leadership, has had to fight to get where she is.
'By contrast, Labour women are demanding guarantees from Burnham. But the truth is he doesn't have to give any guarantees.
'If none of Labour's women are prepared to get their hands dirty and challenge him for the leadership, their demands are toothless.'
'In fact, it's quite revealing that the women's parliamentary Labour Party has written to Burnham asking him to commit himself to at least 50 per cent female ministers.
'This has nothing to do with meritocracy. It is yet more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country.'
