Parents urge LISD to keep standalone disciplinary program, warn of reputational risks

During public comment, Jason Martin and Keith Digen urged Flower Mound elected officials to raise concerns with Lewisville ISD about a proposed change to the district’s disciplinary alternative education program (referred to in the transcript as DAP or DAEP). Martin said the proposal discussed at an LISD board work session could relocate the elementary DAP from the Student Success Center to regular elementary campuses — including Old Settlers Elementary — and that, even with separate entrances, co-location with regular campuses could alter perceptions of school safety and academic standing and possibly affect property values.
