Huge lump of your cash Alberto Carvalho will pocket before LAUSD board even meets — and he’s doing nothing for it

The under fire boss of Los Angeles Unified School District will pocket nearly $15,000 in taxpayers’ money before the board even meets again, the Post can reveal.

Alberto Carvalho, who has been suspended with pay since last Friday amid an FBI corruption probe, will make about $14,465 pre-tax by the time the board next sits on March 10.

Based on his whooping $440,000 annual salary, he makes about $8,462 per week, or $16,923 every two weeks — roughly 13 times California’s minimum wage of $16.90 per hour.

The fact he is being paid while hunkering down amid a media firestorm has sparked outrage. State superintendent candidate Sonja Shaw told the Post: “Time and time again the system is structured to protect adults first.

“Contracts protect administrators. Union rules protect employees. Legal strategies protect institutions. Meanwhile children and families are left dealing with the damage.

“When a superintendent is suspended and still collecting taxpayer money, parents see exactly what is wrong.

“When districts borrow hundreds of millions to settle abuse claims, families see a structure that failed to protect students but somehow always manages to protect itself.

“It creates the perception and often the reality that accountability is slow, limited, or negotiated behind closed doors.

“If we want public trust back, children have to come first. Not contracts. Not executive payouts. Not institutional self preservation.”

She added: “Until the system is redesigned to prioritize student safety over adult protection, this cycle will continue.”

Last week the LAUSD voted unanimously to place Carvalho on administrative leave after he became the focus of a fraud investigation by the FBI.

Federal agents raided his home and high-rise office in Downtown Los Angeles last Wednesday as part of a fraud and corruption probe.

The searches were carried out at Carvalho’s San Pedro residence, his office at LAUSD headquarters and another location in Miami tied to the investigation.

An affidavit filed concerning the search was under seal, officials said. The raid followed allegations of fraud and corruption.

Andres Chait, the Local District Northeast Superintendent, has been named as a temporary fill-in for the powerful role, which oversees the district’s $18.8 billion budget and nearly 400,000 students.

The board could bring in an interim superintendent later. Before assuming his $440,000-a-year job leading the nation’s second-largest school district in 2022, Carvalho, 61, ran Miami’s schools for 14 years.

LA’s school board had just last year voted unanimously to extend Carvalho’s contract.

LAUSD did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
