DAEP

The facility located at 1200 Houston St. in Plainview, Texas, functions as the **Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP)** for the Plainview Independent School District. Unlike a traditional neighborhood school, a DAEP is designed to serve as a specialized placement for students who have violated the district’s student code of conduct. The primary mission of this facility is to provide a highly structured, controlled environment that allows students to continue their academic coursework while addressing the behavioral issues that led to their removal from their home campus.

Academically, the program focuses on keeping students on track with their core curriculum, utilizing a combination of teacher-led instruction and digital learning platforms. Beyond academics, the DAEP emphasizes behavioral modification, accountability, and the development of social-emotional skills, with the ultimate goal of successfully transitioning students back into the general education setting. The setting is intended to be temporary, providing students with the necessary support and interventions to improve their decision-making and academic performance before they return to their regular schools.
