LAUSD Superintendent Carvalho resigns months after FBI raid, district confirms

LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho resigned effective June 21, 2026, months after an FBI raid on his home and office in February triggered his placement on paid administrative leave. The article provides substantive reporting on the timeline—including the February raids, his denial of wrongdoing in March, and now his resignation—along with context that Carvalho is not named in the separate federal fraud case against AllHere CEO Joanna Smith-Griffin, despite that company's failed $6 million AI chatbot contract with LAUSD. The piece is bylined to "NBCLA Staff" (not a named reporter) and relies on official LAUSD statements and prior court records rather than new interviews, which limits journalistic depth; however, it accurately reflects the public record and refrains from speculation about the ongoing investigation. Independent coverage from The New York Times and other outlets corroborates the resignation announcement and timing, and notes Carvalho's mixed track record (raising test scores in Miami but making "missteps"), providing useful context absent from this piece. Watch for the LAUSD Board's formal process to name a permanent successor and any developments in the federal investigation, which remains officially unexplained.
