West Rusk CCISD approves DAEP contract with Arp ISD for 2026–27 at $32,500
Summary
The board approved a 2026–27 MOU with Arp ISD to continue the district's Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP) at a cost of $32,500; staff said operating an in-district DAEP would require a separate facility and certified staff and likely cost more.
The West Rusk County Consolidated ISD Board of Trustees unanimously approved a 2026–27 Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP) memorandum of understanding with Arp ISD, with a contract cost of $32,500.
High School Principal Jake Jackson explained the district contracts with Arp ISD to provide DAEP services for junior-high and high-school students. Jackson said Arp ISD is raising its price by about $1,000 this year but that operating an in-district DAEP would require a separate facility and certified staff, making contracting the more economical option for the district.
The motion to approve the MOU was made by Chris Pratt, seconded by Iris Hammontree, and passed unanimously. The minutes do not include the contract’s full terms or enrollment projections for the DAEP.
