San Pasqual Academy

The county Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a plan Tuesday to continue operations at the San Pasqual Academy, as a way to transition it into a multipurpose campus for foster youth.

San Diego County supervisors 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.

San Pasqual Academy’s North County campus is set to close for good, but students and alumni are asking the state to delay the closure.

Advocates for a residential home in San Diego’s North County for dependents of juvenile court are devastated that California plans to shutter the state-run site later this year.
