We, the undersigned parents, grandparents, and community members of Old Settlers Elementary and the surrounding Flower Mound area, strongly oppose the proposed relocation of the elementary Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP) to our campus starting in the 2026-27 school year.
The current Student Success Center (SSC) is a dedicated, standalone facility that successfully houses DAEP in a central, isolated location—ensuring full separation from regular students without impacting neighborhood elementary schools. This proven model provides equitable access district-wide and preserves nurturing environments for young learners.
Co-locating even a small number (~8 students max) of DAEP placements at Old Settlers would fundamentally change our campus's safe, dedicated feel through minimal measures like quarantined classrooms and alternate scheduling. It risks creating stigma, negatively affecting enrollment perceptions, property values, and the overall community—especially with new ESA vouchers giving families more private/homeschool options.
We urge the Lewisville ISD Board to keep elementary DAEP in standalone facilities like the current SSC or secondary campuses. Protect our youngest students and our neighborhood school!
