"In Florida, he led Miami-Dade County Public Schools from 2008 to 2021. Carvalho is credited in the Miami-Dade district with providing stable leadership and improved academic performance and creating special programs that offer more schooling choices for parents."
"Carvalho took a public stance rebuking Gov. Ron DeSantis' ban on a mask mandate in schools. DeSantis prohibited districts from enacting a mandate in schools and allowed parents to choose whether to send their children in masks. Carvalho, citing guidance from medical leaders, defied the governor's order and issued a mask mandate for students."
"Los Angeles Unified School District Supt. Alberto Carvalho came to Los Angeles with much fanfare in 2022, hailed as a national education leader who could help pull city schools out of a COVID funk and raise student achievement."
Alberto Carvalho became LAUSD superintendent in 2022 after leading Miami-Dade County Public Schools for 13 years. He arrived as a nationally recognized education leader tasked with improving student achievement following pandemic disruptions. In Miami-Dade, Carvalho improved academics, expanded school choice programs, and publicly defied Governor Ron DeSantis's mask mandate ban by implementing his own mandate based on medical guidance. At LAUSD, test scores rose under his leadership, though the district faced challenges including a failed AI scandal and federal racial discrimination accusations. On Wednesday, FBI agents executed search warrants at Carvalho's San Pedro home and LAUSD headquarters, though authorities have not disclosed investigation details or targets.
