LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho resigns after board threatened dismissal

The Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education sent a confidential letter to Superintendent Alberto Carvalho warning that it had grounds to dismiss him for cause. The board cited alleged undisclosed financial benefits, including a 2023 White House trip allegedly paid for by the education‑technology startup AllHere, tickets to Dodgers games, travel to an education conference in Denver, and personal use of a district vehicle. After an FBI raid on Carvalho’s home and office and a brief paid‑leave period, he submitted his resignation on June 21, 2026, stating that schools must stay focused on students and learning. The district declined to comment on personnel matters, emphasizing its commitment to ethics and transparency.

AllHere, a now‑defunct startup, was under federal investigation for its AI chatbot project, and the board’s concerns centered on potential conflicts of interest stemming from Carvalho’s promotion of the company’s technology within the district.
