Disciplinary Alternative Education Program DAEP

PACES

The PACES Center (Positive Attitudes Create Educational Success) is the district’s Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP). The Center is designed for social isolation while allowing students to continue their educational endeavors in a structured environment.

Here students gain the academic discipline needed to thrive and grow. The PACES Center serves Kindergarten through 12th-grade students whose records of conduct require removal from the home campus. Students regain their focus on learning with the assurance of a safe, secure, and structured environment.

All Student Handbook rules and regulations will apply. Additionally, very specific student rules and regulations will apply to all students assigned to the Center. Students who fail to comply with the school rules and regulations must expect more serious consequences.

Parents must provide transportation to and from the PACES Center.

CLASS HOURS: 7:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
