Alberto Carvalho resigned as superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) on Sunday, June 21, 2026, effective immediately, according to district officials. His resignation comes four months after an FBI raid on his home in February 2026.
Carvalho had served as superintendent since 2022, when he was appointed to lead the nation's second-largest school district. The FBI raid, which occurred on February 22, 2026, was part of an ongoing investigation, though specific details have not been publicly disclosed.
In his resignation letter, Carvalho stated he was stepping down to focus on personal matters and to avoid distractions to the district's operations. The LAUSD Board of Education has appointed an interim superintendent to oversee daily operations while a permanent replacement is sought.
The investigation remains active, and no charges have been filed against Carvalho as of this report. The district has pledged full cooperation with federal authorities.
