If you were with CTH when I did the deep dive into the Miami-Dade School Police Department and Miami-Dade School Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, all of it related to the Travyon Martin case. You will likely remember how corrupt and sketchy Carvalho was. {SEARCH TOOL}

Carvalho organized a system within Miami-Dade, where black male students could avoid criminal charges, including felony cases, and have their behavior instead handled with school discipline.

The approach was part of the Obama inspired “My Brother’s Keeper” concept.  Miami-Dade School Police (MDSPD) were instructed not to arrest black male students and instead refer their conduct to school administration.  Trayvon Martin was one of the beneficiaries {GO DEEP}.

Trayvon had burglarized a residence near the High School.  He was serving a two-week suspension from school, sent to his father Tracy Martin in the Orlando area, and it was during that two-week suspension when George Zimmerman spotted Trayvon looking in the patio doors and windows of residences in his condominium complex.  The rest is history.

School Superintendent Alberto Carvalho was/is a very well connected political figure among Democrats.  He was even considered for a VP nomination.  However, it was Carvalho’s program to use the school police to inflate statistical improvements in schools that eventually led to neighboring Broward County doing the same thing in 2013. That “Promise Program” duplication led to the Parkland High School shooting.

Carvalho went to New York City under Mayor Bill de Blasio, and then out to Los Angeles.  In February of this year, reports surfaced of Carvalho being under an FBI investigation for misuse of office, financial crimes, wire fraud and embezzlement. Yesterday Carvalho announced his resignation.

Los Angeles – […] District officials confirmed that Carvalho sent a letter of resignation, effective immediately, to the school board. Carvalho, who had led the nation’s second largest school district since 2022, had been placed on leave by the board a few days following the raids. In the letter, Carvalho did not explicitly mention the investigation, but said that he was resigning because he believes schools “must remain focused on students and learning without distraction.”

[…] Federal officials have not publicly revealed the reason for searching Carvalho’s San Pedro home and office in LAUSD’s downtown headquarters in February, and a judge sealed court filings about the investigation.

The criminal probe appears to be connected to AllHere, a now-defunct tech startup that did business with LAUSD. FBI agents in Florida also searched a property in Southwest Ranches, a community in Broward County, which according to public records belongs to Debra Kerr, an education consultant who worked with AllHere and claimed the company owed her $630,000. Carvalho and Kerr have known each other for years through Kerr’s consulting work.

The resignation marks an unceremonious end to Carvalho’s tenure. The 61-year-old, who received a four-year contract extension last year, had been praised just months earlier by Gov. Gavin Newsom during the State of the State address for the district’s test score improvements.  (read more)
