In 2021, it was reported by Business Insider that Val Verde Unified had engaged in a scheme to funnel children in Qingdao, China to US colleges. The plan relied on the issuance of fraudulent high school diplomas from "Pegasus California School," a Qingdao-based school that was framed as a legitimate part of VVUSD and thus able to issue proper diplomas from an accredited institution. A 2026 by the Riverside County Office of Education confirmed the report, issuing a rebuke of the school district and several former senior California school officials, including former California State Superintendent Tom Torlakson and former Education Secretary David Long. ==See also==
