In September, Embark attended Harvard Kennedy School's third annual Emerging School Models conference. The conference highlighted the proliferation of alternative education models across the country and leaders at the forefront of reforming systems on behalf of students, including Alberto M. Carvalho, Superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District. Prior to his work at LAUSD, Carvalho served as Superintendent of Miami-Dade Public Schools for 14 years, in which time the district became one of the nation's highest-performing urban school systems.
Carvalho said, "The spectrum of opportunity in America cannot be restricted; it needs to be augmented to serve all students, period. All students across America — regardless of zip code, regardless of state — should succeed."
