L.A. schools chief placed on administrative leave amid FBI investigation

The Los Angeles Unified School District board has placed Superintendent Alberto Carvalho on paid administrative leave amid a federal investigation related to his tenure as head of Miami’s school district. The decision, made unanimously, follows FBI search warrants executed at Carvalho’s home and the district’s headquarters. Although the investigation is linked to potential kickbacks during his time in Miami, officials state it does not directly implicate his work at LAUSD. Operations at the district remain unaffected as the investigation unfolds.
