After the United State Department of Education determined that Victor Valley Unified High School District had been discriminating against Black students through its disciplinary process.  

At a community meeting, Victor Valley Unified School District Director of Student Services Michael Williford, Maggie Watson, a mental health clinician at Silverado High School, and Amber Maski, mental health clinician at Victor Valley High School, discussed mental health, micro-aggressions, placement of students in individualized education programs, the negative impact of racism, and what the district is doing to ensure equal treatment of its students. 

The district is applying for grants to improve its programs and to provide resources to the community.
