LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho's resignation long overdue

Cross-posted to 6 groups.

Alberto Carvalho has finally resigned as superintendent of the LA
Unified School District (LAUSD), months after an FBI raid of his office
and his homes in LA and Miami in February. 

The resignation was long overdue.

The raid is thought to have to do with a $6 million contract that LAUSD
had with a company called AllHere, which was supposed to have created an
AI chatbot named “Ed.” That never happened, but the founder of AllHere
was charged with fraud. 

Carvalho has not been charged with anything, and he maintains his
innocence. Still, his refusal to resign until now had a serious impact
on the school district. 

Some of the damage was financial. Carvalho had continued to collect his
$440,000-per-year salary while on administrative leave — even as LAUSD
was also paying acting superintendent Andres Chait nearly $400,000 per
year. 

The even bigger cost may be the 14% pay raise that LAUSD agreed to give
teachers, under threat of a strike in the middle of the school year. Had
Carvalho stepped aside, the LAUSD might have bought itself time to
negotiate over the summer — or it could have found a strong replacement. 

Whatever his fate in legal proceedings, Carvalho leaves behind a legacy
that is mixed, at best. On the one hand, test scores had risen during
his tenure, which began in 2021. 

On the other, LAUSD continued to suffer from chronic absenteeism and
plunging enrollment. The district has lost 4.5% of its students since
last year alone. 

LAUSD needs a strong new superintendent — one who will stand up to the
unions and fight for what is best for the children. 

This year’s candidates for LAUSD board must face the question of how
they would fill Carvalho’s role. It has suddenly become the most
pressing issue in the school board race.
