June 22 (UPI) -- The superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District, Alberto Carvalho, has resigned months after the FBI raided his home and offices, the school board announced Monday.
The LAUSD Board of Education said it received Carvalho's letter of resignation Sunday.
"The Board remains steadfast in its commitment to ensuring stability, continuity and continued progress through strong leadership," a statement said. "Our focus remains unchanged: providing every student with a high-quality education, supporting our dedicated workforce and maintaining the trust of the communities we serve."
The board said former teacher and principal Andrés Chait would continue as acting superintendent until a permanent hire to replace Carvalho is made.
