SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – San Diego County supervisors today unanimously approved a proposal to “reimagine and restructure” the Escondido-based San Pasqual Academy, which educates and houses foster youth, in a manner consistent with state and federal law.
Supervisors also directed Helen Robbins Meyer, county chief administrative officer, to work with stakeholders to ensure that SPA also serves young people with different needs, to look at ways to serve alumni and explore the possibility of transitional housing, and enter into agreement with the state for an extension until June 2022 that also allows for a transition.
The academy is slated to close in October due to declining enrollment. State and federal law changes regarding foster care will also end funding to SPA, described by county officials as a first-in-the-nation residential educational campus designed specifically for foster youth.
