SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The county Board of Supervisors unanimously approved extending a contract Tuesday that will allow the San Pasqual Academy to remain open through June 30, 2022.
Located in Escondido, the academy is described by county officials as a first-in-the-nation residential educational campus designed specifically for foster youth. It was slated to close in October due to declining enrollment. State and federal law changes regarding foster care will also end funding.
With its vote, the board also authorized the county Department of Purchasing and Contracting to negotiate with New Alternatives Inc. on a contract extension at a cost of $6.27 million.
