Feds Raid Nation’s Second-Largest School District in Superintendent Probe

Federal investigators carried out multiple searches on Wednesday connected to the leader of the nation’s second-largest school district, according to officials and the Los Angeles Unified School District.

According to Fox News, authorities served judicially approved search warrants at Superintendent 👤Alberto Carvalho’s home in San Pedro and at LAUSD headquarters in downtown Los Angeles, the district confirmed. 

Federal agents also searched a separate property in Southwest Ranches, Florida, linked to Carvalho, local reporting indicated.

A spokesperson for the U.S. attorney’s office for the Central District of California said the warrants were authorized by a judge but declined to describe the focus of the investigation, noting they remain under seal.

The district said it was cooperating with law enforcement.

“We have been informed of law enforcement activity at Los Angeles Unified School District headquarters and at the home of the Superintendent,” LAUSD said in a statement. “The District is cooperating with the investigation.”

Staff were evacuated from the district’s headquarters early Wednesday as agents arrived, according to local coverage.
