Overview
- Los Angeles Unified’s board voted 7–0 to place Superintendent Alberto Carvalho on paid, indefinite leave and appointed longtime administrator Andres Chait as acting superintendent.
- The Los Angeles Times reported that the FBI searches of Carvalho’s San Pedro home and his LAUSD office stemmed from a referral by New York prosecutors working the AllHere fraud case.
- Agents also searched a Florida residence tied to Debra Kerr, a salesperson linked to AllHere with longstanding professional ties to Carvalho, according to the Times.
- Sources cited by the Times said grand jury subpoenas in Miami-Dade seek records from the school district’s inspector general and the Foundation for New Education Initiatives, which Carvalho oversaw there.
- Chait pledged operational continuity as the board held multiple closed-door sessions, drawing criticism from parents and activists over limited transparency.
