Federal authorities raided the home and office of Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto Carvalho on Wednesday morning. The investigation appears to involve Carvalho's dealings with AllHere, a company that previously developed an AI chatbot for the school district. The nature of the investigation has not been officially disclosed, but sources suggest it is a 'white collar' crime, likely financial in nature.

Why it matters

Investigations involving public officials and large institutions like school districts often involve complex financial and legal considerations. The focus on a failed AI company suggests potential concerns regarding the procurement process, contract management, or the use of public funds, which could undermine public trust in the district's leadership.

The details

The FBI executed search warrants at Carvalho's San Pedro home and at LAUSD headquarters in downtown Los Angeles. Law enforcement sources indicate the investigation specifically involves Carvalho, who has served as LAUSD superintendent since February 2022. Searches also took place at a property in Southwest Ranches, Florida linked to an individual who worked with AllHere, the AI company at the center of the investigation.

  • The FBI raids took place on Wednesday morning, February 26, 2026.
  • AllHere's founder was charged with fraud in 2024.
