Alberto Carvalho resigns as superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District, ending a tenure marked by both academic gains and a federal investigation. Multiple outlets report that Carvalho stepped down on Sunday after being sidelined for months following an FBI raid of his home and office in February. The New York Times and Los Angeles Times note that Carvalho previously came to Los Angeles from Miami and built a reputation for efforts that improved student test scores. Both reports also describe that his leadership drew support for other actions, including advocacy and defense of immigrants. At the same time, the reports agree that Carvalho’s role has been overshadowed by the federal inquiry, with the FBI raid cited as a key turning point that led to his reduced involvement in district affairs. The outlets do not provide additional details in the provided accounts about the specific allegations or case status. Carvalho’s resignation therefore follows a period of heightened scrutiny and limited activity tied to the ongoing investigation.
