DAEP

The school located at 1741 S 14th St in Abilene, Texas, is the **Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP)**, which operates under the administration of the Abilene Independent School District (AISD). Unlike a traditional neighborhood school, this facility serves as an alternative educational setting designed for students who have violated the district’s student code of conduct. The primary mission of the program is to provide a structured, supervised environment where students can continue their core academic coursework while addressing the behavioral issues that led to their placement.

The DAEP focuses on minimizing academic disruption for students during their period of removal from their home campus. By maintaining a smaller, more controlled classroom setting, the program aims to help students reflect on their actions, improve their decision-making skills, and prepare for a successful transition back into their regular school environment. The school acts as a critical resource for the district in maintaining campus safety and order while ensuring that all students, regardless of their disciplinary standing, retain access to educational instruction.
