WICHITA CO JJAEP

The Wichita County Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program (JJAEP), located at 1001 Calhoun in Wichita Falls, Texas, serves as a specialized educational facility designed to provide a structured learning environment for students who have been removed from their regular campuses due to disciplinary infractions. Unlike traditional public schools, the JJAEP is mandated by the Texas Education Code to serve students who are typically under a mandatory or discretionary expulsion order. The program focuses on maintaining academic continuity for these students while addressing the behavioral issues that led to their removal, ensuring they do not fall behind in their core curriculum during their placement.

Because it operates within the juvenile justice framework, the Wichita County JJAEP prioritizes safety, strict behavioral expectations, and intensive academic supervision. The facility functions as a bridge for students, with the ultimate goal of successfully transitioning them back into their home school districts once their disciplinary assignment is complete. By combining state-required academic standards with a focus on accountability and character development, the program aims to provide a supervised, focused setting that helps students redirect their educational path despite the challenges that led to their placement.
