The Disciplinary Alternative Education Program

DISCIPLINARY ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAM (DAEP)

DAEP Room

The Royal ISD DAEP Program is governed by all applicable federal, state, and local policies and procedures. The Royal ISD Student Code of Conduct, RISD student handbook, and campus student handbook provide additional information regarding rules, regulations, and procedures under which the DAEP operates/ adheres. The DAEP handbook works in conjunction with the aforementioned documents to accommodate the alternative arrangements and applications of policy specific to a disciplinary educational setting.

As required by state law, the District has officially adopted the Student Code of Conduct in order to promote a safe and orderly learning environment for every student. We urge you to read this information thoroughly and to discuss it among your family. If you have any questions about the behaviors and consequences, we encourage you to ask for an explanation from the student’s teacher or campus administrator. The Student Code of Conduct that follows is the District’s response to the requirements of Chapter 37 of the Texas Education Code.
