Los Angeles schools superintendent resigns months after FBI raids home and office

The Los Angeles School District superintendent resigned on Sunday, just four months after federal agents raided his home and office.

On Feb. 25, the FBI executed search warrants at Alberto Carvalho’s office and his San Pedro home. Carvalho was placed on paid administrative leave a couple of days later.

‘Because I believe our schools must remain focused on students and learning without distraction, I am resigning as Superintendent of LAUSD effective today, June 21, 2026.’
