Federal agents have searched the San Pedro home and downtown headquarters office of Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, jolting the nation’s second‑largest school system and igniting intense speculation about the future of its top leader.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the United States Department of Justice confirmed that court‑authorized search warrants were executed at both locations, but key affidavits remain sealed and officials have not announced any arrests or formal charges against Carvalho.

Agents were seen entering and leaving the superintendent’s home carrying cardboard boxes and bags, while parts of the district headquarters were temporarily cleared as investigators swept offices. A separate residence in Florida, linked to the same probe, was also searched, according to federal authorities.

People familiar with the matter say the investigation is a white‑collar, likely financial case tied to AllHere, an education‑technology start‑up that won a multi‑million‑dollar contract to build an artificial‑intelligence chatbot for Los Angeles schools before collapsing amid a federal fraud case against its founder. District insiders note that the chatbot project, branded “Ed,” was once championed by Carvalho as a symbol of digital innovation.

In a brief statement, the school district said it had been informed of law‑enforcement activity at headquarters and at the superintendent’s home and emphasized that it is cooperating fully with investigators. Meanwhile, the Board of Education has called an emergency closed session focused on Carvalho’s employment, underscoring how quickly a celebrated reformer has become the central figure in a federal probe that now hangs over classrooms, parents and teachers across Los Angeles
