His departure, effective June 21, 2026, follows scrutiny over his dealings with a subcontractor behind a failed AI chatbot project — though his legal team insists he did nothing wrong. Carvalho’s tenure saw notable academic gains, including rising test scores and graduation rates, but was also marred by controversies like a cyberattack, misused arts funds, and the botched AI rollout. His resignation leaves unanswered questions about potential settlements, while the district remains under federal probe for alleged racial disparities in programs and the Black Student Achievement Plan — both of which the district says are legal and have since restored funding. Acting Superintendent Andres Chait, who recently averted a strike, now faces challenges including ongoing federal investigations, budget woes, and declining enrollment.
