JJA

The **Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program (JJAEP)** located at 1402 Hackberry St. in San Antonio serves as a specialized educational environment for students who have been removed from their home campuses due to disciplinary infractions. Unlike a traditional school, JJAEP operates as a mandatory placement facility designed to provide a structured, intensive academic setting for students who have engaged in conduct requiring expulsion under the Texas Education Code. The program’s primary mission is to ensure these students maintain their educational progress while addressing the behavioral issues that led to their removal.

The curriculum at this facility is designed to keep students on track with state standards, typically emphasizing core subjects like English, mathematics, science, and social studies, often delivered through individualized or computer-based learning models. Because the facility falls under the jurisdiction of the local juvenile justice system, the environment is highly supervised and security-focused, with a strong emphasis on maintaining order, promoting accountability, and preparing students for a successful transition back to their home school districts once their mandatory placement term is completed.
