meeting, school officials will discuss the departure of Superintendent Alberto Carvalho and how to move forward with his replacement, WSVN reported .

M-DCPS seeks replacement
A few weeks ago the Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education unanimously elected 57-year-old Alberto Carvalho to the position of superintendent.
“I am blessed and happy to report that the Los Angeles Unified School System has offered me the position of superintendent,” Carvalho said on his social media. “In fact, they have just concluded a meeting in which they unanimously made this decision. And now we are going to enter a phase of contractual negotiations ”.
Alberto Carvalho has been the superintendent of Miami-Dade County Public Schools since 2008. It is the fourth largest school district in the nation, while Los Angeles is the second largest, so it represents a challenge.
“ I am one of those who believes that energy, the fuel of our democracy, is in public education. If we do the right thing with our schools and our children, we will protect democracy . That is what I will bring to Los Angeles, a community that faces the same challenges that we face and continue to face, ”he said.
Carvalho described himself as a “poor boy from Portugal” whose first jobs in the United States were as a dishwasher and laborer, and who was sometimes homeless. He immigrated to the United States after high school. He attended college and then began his teaching career as a science teacher in Miami-Dade County.
“I decided to drive through the neighborhood today, blocks from here, where about 29 years ago, 30 years ago, I was homeless,” Carvalho said . “It has been an honor, a privilege, a story that can only be told in the United States.”
“Although I will call Los Angeles my home, Miami will always have a special place in my heart,” added Carvalho.
“Alberto Carvalho brings the deep experience we need as an educator and leader of a large urban district to manage LA Unified’s ongoing response and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Kelly Gonez, President of the LAUSD Board of Directors, it’s a statement. “As a longtime Miami-Dade superintendent, he established a clear track record of positive student outcomes and has worked tirelessly to achieve greater equity for historically underserved communities. I know he will continue that focus in Los Angeles and is ready for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. ”
