Overview
- The LAUSD board voted 7–0 to place Superintendent Alberto Carvalho on paid, indefinite administrative leave and named longtime district official Andres Chait acting superintendent.
- Sources report the investigation originated from New York prosecutors working the AllHere fraud case, which involved LAUSD’s never‑fully‑deployed “Ed” chatbot.
- FBI agents searched Carvalho’s San Pedro home, his LAUSD headquarters office, and a Florida residence tied to Debra Kerr, a salesperson whose clients included AllHere.
- Grand jury subpoenas in Miami‑Dade are seeking records from the school district’s inspector general and the foundation Carvalho once oversaw, and at least one person tied to AllHere’s transactions is cooperating with prosecutors.
- Key affidavits remain sealed, the board has convened multiple closed sessions drawing transparency criticism, and no charges against Carvalho have been publicly announced.
