The FBI raided the headquarters of the Los Angeles unified school district, the second largest school district in the US, as well as the home of Alberto Carvalho, the district’s superintendent, federal officials confirmed on Wednesday.
An unnamed source familiar with the investigation told the Associated Press that authorities served warrants that were part of an “ongoing investigation”.
Ciaran McEvoy, a spokesperson for the US attorney’s office in Los Angeles, confirmed that a search took place.
“We can confirm a search pursuant to an under seal, court-authorized warrant. We will have no further comment,” McEvoy said.
The Los Angeles unified school district said in a statement that it was “informed of law enforcement activity” at its headquarters and at Carvalho’s home.
“The district is cooperating with the investigation and we do not have further information at this time.”
Nothing to see here. FBI raids on districts and superintendents are totally normal.
