Suspended LAUSD boss Alberto Carvalho has been spotted forthe first time in nearly three months— as he spends his days pacing around the courtyard of his California home while collecting tens of thousands in taxpayers’ cash.
The schools boss, who has earned about $90,000 since the FBI raided his homes and offices in February, is living a low-key life in isolation at his $2.5 million San Pedro house, the California Post can reveal.
The 61-year-old was seen doing laps of his rooftop yard over three days last week before briefly breaking cover for an incognito shopping trip with his wife, Maria.
Carvalho went into hiding on February 25after federal agents launched a dramatic raidon his homes in California and Florida as well as his office in downtown Los Angeles.
The Bureau has refused to release specific details on the operation but sources revealed it is linked to a corruption scandal from a botchedAI education company from his time as Miami-Dade schools chief.
The Portuguese-born politician, who came to America when he was 17 and stayed illegally on a visitor visa before becoming a legal US citizen, has sparked fury for still collecting his $440,000 a year paycheck.
The Post found him living a quiet life in isolation at his 2,000-square-foot San Pedro home while the FBI continues to sift through their case against him.
Over three days last week he was seen pacing around his rooftop patio above the garage before heading back inside while Maria occasionally left the house.
On one of the days, neither of them left the property at all, with their white Hyundai Tucson SUV remaining parked in the driveway unmoved.
But on Friday Carvalho broke cover as he headed out disguised in a hoodie and baseball cap for a brief shopping trip around lunchtime to pick up groceries from their local Vons supermarket.
