Summary:
|
The Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program (JJAEP) serves school districts for expelled students either due to mandatory reasons (felony drug, illegal weapons as examples) per Chapter 37 or discretionary reasons due to serious and/or persistent misbehavior while placed at the Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP), also per Chapter 37.
A student’s JJAEP placement is based upon the student’s residence, so the District partners with both Tarrant and Johnson County for JJAEP services.
NOTE: Crowley ISD has never placed a student in the JJAEP in Johnson County.

|
Budgetary Impact:
|
Johnson County: None expected. CISD has never placed a student in JJAEP in Johnson County.
Tarrant County: (A) From August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2025, the Juvenile Board will provide an alternative education program for expelled students who meet the criteria of Chapter 37, Section 37.007 (a), (d), or (e), as outlined by the Texas Juvenile Justice Department, including mandatory expulsions when the adjudication petition is not sustained or if the proceeding is dismissed. The state will pay $86.00 a day for each day of attendance. (B) Each school district that refers a student expelled under Chapter 37.007 (b), (c), or (f) or removed under 37.309 will pay $129.00 a day for every day of attendance. In the event of school closure, due to severe community health issue, disaster, flood or extreme weather condition, said school district will pay $125.00 a day during any such closure for up to five (5) school calendar days. Payments will be made within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice from TCJS. Districts placing discretionary students in the JJAEP agree up to a 180 days regular school year, and up to a 35 days summer school program.
