There’s a new phase in the movement to keep San Pasqual Academy, a boarding school for foster youth in Escondido, open: A group of nine residents, alumni and staff is suing the state and the county for moving to shut down the facility.
The group is seeking to secure the facility’s future. It’s asking the court to order the California Department of Social Services to create a unique licensing and funding category to allow it to stay open past June 2022 and continue to serve foster youth across the county. Kimberley Johnson, the director of the California Department of Social Services; Nick Macchione, the director of the San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency; and the San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency are named as defendants in the suit.

Taxes are usually due in April, but the federal deadline was extended this year after lawmakers and some tax professionals put pressure on the Internal Revenue Service to give taxpayers more time to file as the pandemic continued to upend daily life. The Golden State also extended its tax filing deadline to Monday.
