Denver Pays Ex-LA Superintendent for Coaching | Denver News

Denver Public Schools paid former LAUSD superintendent Alberto Carvalho over $100K in executive coaching fees for their own superintendent, Alex Marrero — payments that escalated from $2K to $3K monthly — even as Carvalho faced a federal probe tied to an AI chatbot contract. Though the coaching ended when Carvalho was placed on leave in LA and later resigned, Denver defended the arrangement, citing Carvalho’s experience and Marrero’s personal endorsement. Records show Carvalho provided feedback on a Denver strategic plan before the formal contract began — and billed for it. Denver insists it had no involvement with the AI company under investigation.
