The Los Angeles Unified School District named Andrés Chait to the position of superintendent following the resignation of Alberto Carvalho earlier this week.
Chait was serving as acting superintendent since February when a law enforcement investigation involving Carvalho led to his administrative leave.
“At this moment, our students, families, employees, and communities deserve stability, focus, and confidence in the future of Los Angeles Unified,” said Board President Scott Schmerelson. “After careful consideration, the Board determined that Andrés Chait is uniquely qualified to lead this District. He knows our schools, understands our challenges, has earned the trust of employees and school communities, and has already demonstrated his ability to lead with integrity, transparency, and a relentless focus on students.”
Chait’s appointment is effective immediately.
