Los Angeles Unified schools Supt. Alberto Carvalho, who has been under FBI investigation for four months, resigned Sunday night as leader of the nation’s second-largest school system, bringing a breathtaking end to one of the district’s most consequential and high-profile tenures.
Carvalho’s legal team confirmed that he sent a resignation letter late Sunday to the L.A. Unified School District and to individual members of the Board of Education.
“It has been a great honor to serve you,” Carvalho began in a letter addressed to “the students, families, teachers, staff, and community of LAUSD.”
“Over the past four years, together, we have made historic progress — gains that belong to our students, our educators, staff and our communities,” Carvalho said. His letter only hinted at the reason behind the resignation and made no direct mention of the early morning FBI raid at his home and district office in late February, which prompted his placement on paid leave and the appointment of an acting superintendent.
