Education Leadership and Ethics

The Los Angeles Unified School District board unanimously placed Superintendent Alberto Carvalho on paid administrative leave after the FBI executed search warrants at his Los Angeles home, LAUSD headquarters and a third property tied to a former AllHere salesperson, and named chief of school operations Andres Chait as interim superintendent following two days of closed‑door deliberations. Reporting links the raids to the failed AllHere “Ed” AI contract — LAUSD paid about $3 million before dropping the chatbot months later and the company’s CEO was later indicted — and a source says the probe may predate Carvalho’s LA tenure and involve alleged kickbacks tied to his Miami‑Dade tenure; Carvalho has denied personal involvement and authorities have not publicly disclosed details.
