Carvalho was placed on leave amid an FBI probe into a $3 million AI contract with AllHere, which went bankrupt and led to fraud charges against its founder.
- On Friday, LAUSD board members voted unanimously to place Alberto Carvalho, Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent, on paid leave after FBI agents raided his home and district office.

- Authorities also searched a third Florida location near Miami, where Carvalho previously led public schools, and neighbors reported he and his wife were detained, with one saying `He doesn't deserve this`.
- LAUSD named Andres Chait as acting superintendent after the board ended its Thursday closed session without a decision, planning to reconvene at 12:30 p.m. Friday.
- Carvalho was long celebrated for improving academics in Los Angeles after leading Miami-Dade County Public Schools, where he was named 2014 Superintendent of the Year and earned a 2021 Spain knighthood.
