SALAZAR DISTRICT ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAM

SALAZAR DISTRICT ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAM is a Title I public school that is part of the CARROLLTON-FARMERS BRANCH ISD school district, located in CARROLLTON, TX with about 74 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 17 teachers, SALAZAR DISTRICT ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAM has a student/teacher ratio of about 4:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The SALAZAR DISTRICT ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAM (DAEP), operated by the Carrollton-Farmers Branch Independent School District (CFBISD), serves as a specialized educational setting for students who require an environment outside of the traditional classroom. The program is designed to provide academic continuity for students who have been removed from their home campuses due to violations of the district’s Student Code of Conduct. By focusing on behavioral redirection and academic support, the facility aims to ensure that students maintain their progress toward graduation while addressing the specific disciplinary or social-emotional needs that led to their placement.

Located on Keller Springs Road in Carrollton, the center emphasizes a structured environment that prioritizes safety, accountability, and academic rigor. The curriculum is aligned with the standards of the home campuses, allowing students to continue their coursework in core subjects under the guidance of certified staff. The ultimate goal of the Salazar program is to successfully transition students back to their traditional school settings with the tools and improved behavioral skills necessary to achieve long-term academic success within the district.
