A decade ago, the Vallejo City Unified School District was on the verge of financial collapse, saved only when the state took control of the ailing system.

Today, a year after that control was returned to the Vallejo school board, the district is a much different — and healthier — place, school officials say.

New programs abound in the district, from its full-service community schools to the wall-to-wall academies, as the school board works not only to stabilize the district’s financial situation, but also to shed years of poor student outcomes.
