Controversy

In 2015, Redlands East Valley High School 2014 varsity cheerleaders were criticized for dressing up in costume gang attire with fake weaponry inside the school's gymnasium depicting a supposed "Latino Gang". The photo showed the High School students dressed in baggy jeans, heavy makeup and throwing gang signs.[6]

In July 2020, Redlands City Council declared racism as a public health crises after some residents shared experiences of racial slurs and name calling at local schools and in the community.[7]

In December 2020, Redlands Unified responded to a viral video depicting one of their students making a facial gesture targeted at the Asian community.[8]

From as early as 1995 the district has also had a large number, adjusted for its size, of child molestation and abuse cases. This includes criminal and civil cases involving Redlands teachers Lopez, Whitehurst, Kirkland, Koonce, Kelly, and Timothy Rochester, among others, and is an on-going problem with screening and grooming in the district. To date, the district has paid out over 50 million in damages to affected students and families.[9] [10]
