flag A California audit found evidence of fraud in a school district’s program sending students to a Chinese private school for U.S. diplomas.

flag A California audit has found "sufficient evidence" of potential fraud and improper fiscal practices in Val Verde Unified’s partnership with Pegasus California School, a private boarding school in Qingdao, China. flag The 1,000-page report revealed the district issued diplomas to Pegasus students without verifying they met California’s academic standards, allowed teachers to teach in China on unpaid leave with benefits and inflated salaries upon return, and linked former education officials to the program amid conflicts of interest. flag The district notified prosecutors and state agencies, while the state education department reiterated that public diplomas are for California students only. flag The program, which charged students thousands for access to U.S. credentials, has drawn scrutiny over its legitimacy and impact on public education integrity.
