The superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District has resigned amid an ongoing investigation that has drawn significant public attention. According to reports from the Los Angeles Times, Alberto Carvalho submitted his resignation Thursday night following months of scrutiny tied to a business agreement involving a failed artificial intelligence chatbot venture. The investigation remains active, but Carvalho has not been charged with any crime and continues to deny any wrongdoing.
The controversy intensified in February when FBI agents executed search warrants at Carvalho’s home and office. Shortly afterward, the Los Angeles Board of Education voted to place him on paid administrative leave while the investigation proceeded. District officials have not announced a permanent replacement.
Carvalho was selected to lead the nation’s second-largest school district in December 2021 and officially took the position in 2022. Before coming to Los Angeles, he spent 14 years as superintendent of Miami-Dade County Public Schools in Florida, where he earned national recognition for his leadership and educational initiatives.
