Carvalho became superintendent in 2022.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles School Superintendent Alberto Carvalho is being put on paid leave while he is part of a federal investigation. The move on Friday by the Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education comes two days after the FBI served search warrants at his home and the district’s headquarters.
Authorities have not provided details of the nature of the investigation involving the nation’s second-largest school district, which serves more than 500,000 students.
Carvalho became superintendent in 2022. He previously led the public schools in Miami.
Andres Chait, the chief of school operations, will take over the helm while Carvalho is on leave, the district said.
Carvalho has not responded to a request for comment. The FBI on Wednesday also searched a third location near Miami. The Miami Herald reported the Florida property belonged to Debra Kerr, who previously worked with AllHere, an education technology company that had a contract with Los Angeles schools before it collapsed and its leader was indicted for fraud. She could not be reached for comment Thursday.
