The new Public Safety Academy, or PSA, opened in August with close to 400 attendees for the 2012-13 school year in the building that previously housed Amy Blanc Elementary. The school currently serves 5th through 8th graders, but plans to grow with its classes over the next four years to eventually accommodate students through grade 12.
Police chiefs throughout Solano County and the association of Police Officers Standards and Training (POST) first approached the school district with the idea for a specialized school in the Spring of 2011, however, every law agency in the county–including the fire department was also involved. The Public Safety Academy is the result of a “collaborative” effort between the school district and said agencies.
