DISCIPLINE ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAM

The Discipline Alternative Education Program (DAEP) located at 9000 Westview in Houston, Texas, serves as a specialized instructional setting managed by the Houston Independent School District (HISD). This facility is designed to provide an educational environment for students who have been removed from their home campuses due to violations of the district’s Student Code of Conduct. The primary objective of the program is to ensure that students continue their academic progress in core subjects—such as math, science, English, and social studies—while simultaneously addressing the behavioral issues that led to their placement.

Beyond its academic focus, the program functions as a structured, corrective environment aimed at behavioral modification. By removing students from their traditional school settings, the DAEP seeks to minimize disruptions to the general student population while providing the assigned students with a more controlled setting, characterized by smaller class sizes and heightened supervision. Students typically attend the program for a predetermined duration, during which they receive counseling and behavioral intervention, with the ultimate goal of successfully transitioning them back to their home campuses with improved self-regulation and adherence to school policies.
