A self-study of the Public Safety Academy stating the school that opened in 2012 has a higher attendance rate than other schools in the Fairfield-Suisun School District, few suspensions and “is doing very well,” won approval Thursday by district trustees.

The study is part of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges accreditation.

Former Fairfield Police Chief Walt Tibbet, former Suisun City Police Chief Ed Dadisho and retired school district Superintendent Jacki Cottingim-Dias originally conceived the Public Safety Academy program, the report states.
