# LAUSD superintendent resignation and probe > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/lausd-leadership-resignation-investigation > Updated: 2026-08-08T17:43:03.000Z. Sources: 23. Developments: 8. The FBI executed search warrants at LAUSD superintendent Alberto Carvalho’s home and district offices in February 2026, targeting a multimillion‑dollar AI‑chatbot contract with the defunct ed‑tech firm AllHere. Carvalho was placed on paid administrative leave while the federal inquiry continued. In June 2026, the board prepared a vote to terminate Carvalho, citing unprofessional conduct, misuse of district resources, and bypassing IT policy by seeking access to the Telegram app. Specific allegations surfaced including the instruction to staff to remove a GPS tracking device from his district-issued SUV to hide his movements, and directing his district-paid driver to perform personal errands, such as transporting his wife to the airport and driving him and a female employee to social engagements. The board also accused him of accepting undisclosed benefits, including travel and Dodgers tickets, allegedly funded by AllHere. Carvalho resigned on 21 June 2026, shortly before the planned termination vote. His legal team has rejected the allegations, calling the board's actions a “political hit job.” They assert that the use of a district vehicle and driver was permitted under his contract due to security concerns and that his use of secure messaging applications was known to district officials. Federal investigators have also investigated raids on a Miami residence linked to a technology vendor and allege Carvalho failed to disclose over $107,000 in executive-coaching payments to Denver Public Schools superintendent Alex Marrero. No criminal charges have been filed. Acting superintendent Andrés Chait remains in charge while the board searches for a permanent replacement. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-08: Alberto Carvalho accused of misconduct at LAUSD Former LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho faces allegations of unprofessional conduct, including removing a GPS tracker from his district vehicle and using secure messaging apps to evade oversight. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/alberto-carvalho-accused-of-misconduct-at-lausd ### 2026-08-04: Los Angeles Unified School District board moves to fire Superintendent Alberto Carvalho before his resignation LAUSD prepared to fire Superintendent Alberto Carvalho over undisclosed income, gifts and misuse of district resources; he resigned in June 2026 before the vote, with his lawyers calling the move a political “​ 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/los-angeles-unified-school-district-board-moves-to-fire-superintendent-alberto-carvalho-before-his-r ### 2026-07-18: Alberto Carvalho resigns after FBI raid and undisclosed $107,000 side income Former LAUSD superintendent Alberto Carvalho resigned after FBI raids and is accused of hiding $107,000 earned from coaching Denver's superintendent. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/alberto-carvalho-resigns-after-fbi-raid-and-undisclosed-107000-side-income ### 2026-07-10: Former LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho Lists Los Angeles Home for Sale Former LAUSD superintendent Alberto Carvalho, who resigned after an FBI raid, listed his San Pedro home for $1.899 million; he cited legal counsel while the district named Andrés Chait as his replacement. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/former-lausd-superintendent-alberto-carvalho-lists-los-angeles-home-for-sale ### 2026-06-28: LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho resigns after board threatened dismissal LAUSD superintendent Alberto Carvalho resigned after the board warned he could be fired for alleged undisclosed financial benefits, including a White House trip funded by the bankrupt ed‑tech startup AllHere. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/lausd-superintendent-alberto-carvalho-resigns-after-board-threatened-dismissal ### 2026-06-24: Los Angeles Unified School District approves $20.6 B budget with layoffs and new strategic plan LAUSD approves a $20.6 B budget, over 1,000 layoffs, and a four‑year plan after Superintendent Carvalho resigns, covering a $2 B shortfall with reserves amid enrollment decline. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/los-angeles-unified-school-district-approves-206-b-budget-with-layoffs-and-new-strategic-plan ### 2026-06-23: Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Resigns Amid Federal Investigation LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho resigned after a federal investigation and FBI raid, prompting the board to approve a $20.6 billion budget with massive layoffs while acting superintendent Andres Chaitrem 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/los-angeles-unified-school-district-superintendent-resigns-amid-federal-investigation ### 2026-06-22: LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho Resigns Amid FBI Investigation LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho resigns effective June 21, 2026 after FBI raids linked to a failed $3‑6 million AI chatbot contract with AllHere; he denied wrongdoing and the board named acting chief Andr 13 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/lausd-superintendent-alberto-carvalho-resigns-amid-fbi-probe --- Cite as: LAUSD superintendent resignation and probe.
