The superintendent of Los Angeles public schools, currently on paid leave amid a federal investigation, has issued a statement denying any wrongdoing and calling for his immediate reinstatement to lead the nation’s second-largest school district.
Federal agents executed search warrants on Feb. 25 at Alberto Carvalho's residence and the Los Angeles Unified School District's headquarters. Two days later, the Board of Education unanimously voted to place him on leave pending the investigation's outcome.
