The FBI on Wednesday raided the Los Angeles unified school district’s headquarters and the superintendent’s home.
Federal officials served the warrants as part of an ongoing investigation, according to a person familiar with the investigation, who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss the inquiry. The nature of the investigation and what allegations were being examined was not immediately clear.
Ciaran McEvoy, a spokesperson for the US attorney’s office in Los Angeles, confirmed that court-authorized searches were under way on Wednesday.
The district and the superintendent’s office did not immediately respond to emails and a voicemail requesting comment.
TV news footage showed agents in FBI shirts and jackets outside superintendent Alberto Carvalho’s modest home in the San Pedro neighborhood.
The sprawling Los Angeles unified school district is the country’s second largest, with more than 500,000 students and covering more than two dozen cities.
Carvalho has been its superintendent since February 2022. He oversaw Miami-Dade county public schools, Florida’s largest school district, from 2008 to 2021, when he was credited with improving graduation rates and academic performance.
