Under-fire LA schools’ chief Alberto Carvalho will be hauled over the coals in an ominous “superintendent’s evaluation” on Monday — days after the FBI raided his home.
The LAUSD board will hold a closed session on Monday morning, according to court documents seen by The California Post, following the execution of search warrants by agents last Wednesday.
Carvalho has vanished since the raid and it is unclear where he is holed up. But The Post saw a box being delivered to his $1.6 million family home in San Pedro on Sunday.

The box is marked with Toki Suntory Japanese Whisky, but it’s not known what was inside Rafael Fontoura for CA PostThe delivery was marked as containing six bottles of ”Toki” Suntory Whiskey from Japan, which retails of $35 each. It is unclear if the box contained whiskey, who it was for, or who dropped it off.
The home has been the center of investigations, with rifle-toting FBI agents seen taking boxes and other items from the three-bedroom, two bathroom home.
An affidavit filed concerning the search was under seal, officials said.
Carvalho bought the home in 2022 from CA Senator Laura Richardson for $1,440,000, and it’s his only known California home.
The property is the most humble from his extensive property portfolio worth $63 million, which includes a palatial 3,576 square feet Miami Shores home valued at at $2.4 million.
He also owns two Miami condos worth around $1.4 million combined, per Zillow. Both are within the ritzy 63-story Biscayne Bay condo complex in Miami’s Park West neighborhood.
His 2022 financial disclosure also showed that he owned millions in stock.
Further raids were carried out at the LAUSD’s downtown Los Angeles headquarters, and the Miami home of Debra Kerr, who is tied to the alleged wrongdoing.

Los Angeles Times via Getty ImagesCarvalho, who was formerly superintendent of Miami-Dade County Public Schools, was suspended on Friday, two days after the raids, and one day after Thursday’s closed session meetings.
He was placed on administrative leave, meaning he could continue to rake in his estimated $8,500 weekly salary while the investigation into his affairs continued.
The investigation is believed to involve LAUSD’s dealings with AI company AllHere, where Kerr was a former consultant, which developed a chatbot for the district.
Carvalho’s $1.6 million San Pedro home Rafael Fontoura for CA PostIn 2024, AllHere’s founder Joanna Smith-Griffin, then-33, was charged with fraud, just months after she joined the AI chatbot’s $6 million deal alongside Carvalho.
Under Carvalho, Smith-Griffin’s company received nearly $3 million from LAUSD for services that were never performed, according to court documents.
She is alleged to have spent the $10 million she bilked from investors to pay for her wedding and North Carolina home, federal prosecutors allege.

Jonathan Alcorn For CA PostNeither Carvalho nor Kerr have been charged with a crime, and no public details have been released by authorities regarding the probe.
Carvalho’s supporters have brazenly claimed he is the victim of a political witchhunt, after he criticized ICE activity near LA schools.
The Post has repeatedly contacted Carvalho for comment.
The LAUSD also previously pledged to stop ICE from carrying out arrests on students or families attending school graduations.
The LAUSD board said it is cooperating with law enforcement and couldn’t comment on the specifics of the investigation.
“The LAUSD Board of Education understands that today’s news has raised questions across our school communities,” they wrote. “The Board’s priority remains ensuring that our students, families, and employees experience a safe and welcoming learning environment. Teaching and learning continue across our schools.
Los Angeles Unified continues to stay focused on our responsibility to serve students and our families.”
