BEXAR CO J J A E P

The **Bexar County Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program (JJAEP)** is a specialized educational facility located in San Antonio, Texas, designed to serve students who have been removed from their regular campuses due to disciplinary actions. Unlike a traditional school, the JJAEP is a mandatory educational setting for students who have committed specific offenses under the Texas Education Code, such as conduct that requires or permits expulsion. The program’s primary mission is to provide these students with a structured, secure, and focused environment where they can continue their core academic studies while addressing the behavioral issues that led to their placement.

The facility at 11914 Dragon Lane operates under a partnership between the local school districts and the Bexar County Juvenile Board. Because the environment is highly regulated and tailored to students with disciplinary records, the curriculum is heavily focused on core subjects—such as English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies—designed to ensure students do not fall behind in their graduation requirements. The program also incorporates behavioral intervention strategies and counseling services intended to foster accountability, improve decision-making skills, and facilitate a successful transition back into the traditional classroom setting upon the completion of the student's assigned term.
