Dupre Academy enrollment tops 90 as Lubbock ISD expands flexible learning pathways
Summary
District staff described five learning pathways for students needing flexible options; Dupre Academy has a 150-student cap and "Currently, about 90 students are enrolled," staff said, and the program allows dual enrollment with the ATC for CTE access.
Kami Finger briefed the committee on alternative learning pathways available to students who are credit-deficient or need flexible scheduling. Finger described five pathways, access through traditional campuses or Dupre Academy, and supports including behavioral staff, counselors and special-education teams to help with transitions.
Staff said Dupre seat allocations are capped at 150 and that "Currently, about 90 students are enrolled," the highest start-of-year total so far. Students returning from juvenile justice programs receive separate bi-weekly review for placement, and Dupre students can be dually enrolled at the Advanced Technology Center to pursue career and technical education alongside credit recovery or alternate learning plans.
