The **Cameron County Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program (JJAEP)**, located in Harlingen, Texas, serves as a specialized educational facility designed to provide academic instruction and behavioral intervention for students who have been removed from their home campuses due to disciplinary infractions. Operated under the oversight of the county’s juvenile justice system, the program is mandated by the state of Texas to ensure that students facing disciplinary placement continue their education in a highly structured, supervised environment.
