Alberto Carvalho Officially Starts As LAUSD Superintendent
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — Monday was Alberto Carvalho's first official day as Los Angeles Unified School District's new superintendent.
Carvalho comes to Los Angeles from the Miami-Dade County Public Schools system, where he served as superintendent since 2008. He succeeds Austin Beutner, who stepped down in June.
Monday is the start of a four-year contract for Carvalho, who will earn a base yearly salary of $440,000. He also received a $50,000 relocation stipend to pay for his move from Miami to Los Angeles.
Carvalho becomes superintendent of the second-largest district in the nation as it continues to struggle with the impacts of the pandemic.
School officials say Carvalho will begin a two-door of nine school sites on Wednesday and Thursday. Some of those stops will include John C. Fremont Senior High School in San Pedro, Castelar Street Elementary School in Chinatown, and Boys Academic Leadership Academy in Westmont.
