Richard Connor urges CSISD to separate DAEP from College View High School

College Station Independent School District Board of Trustees · August 26, 2026

Summary

Richard Connor, an English teacher at College View High School, told the board that physically separating the district's disciplinary/alternative program would give each campus a distinct mission, leadership and identity and help College View better recruit as an early college campus.

Richard Connor, an English teacher at College View High School, urged the College Station ISD board during the hearing-of-citizens portion to physically separate the district's disciplinary/alternative program from College View.

"Separating College View and DAP would allow each campus to establish a distinct mission, culture, and public identity," Connor said, arguing separation would let College View emphasize its early college model while allowing the DAEP to build specialized systems for behavior, academic continuity and reentry to home campuses.

Connor told trustees a separate DAEP campus would permit dedicated leadership and staffing tailored to students who need disciplinary or intervention services. He said the move would help College View shed a persistent public perception that it is "simply the DAP campus," improving recruitment and making it clearer to families what the early college campus offers.

Board President Iggy thanked Connor for his comments before the board moved into its workshop agenda. The board did not take immediate action during the public-comment period; trustees later discussed College View and DAEP relocation as part of the central-office and facilities conversation in the workshop.
