Students must follow the rules of the Salazar Learning Center and the CFBISD Student Code of Conduct.
The district’s policy for Acceptable Use for Technology Resources is in effect during placement and consequences may be assigned in accordance with policy.
To ensure the safety of all students and staff, backpacks, purses or wallets, cell phones, electronic devices and money are not allowed on campus. All money brought to school will be put into the student’s cafeteria account.
Gang associated activities, including attire, symbols, signs, gestures, etc. are strictly prohibited. Exhibiting such behavior could incite violence and will result in severe disciplinary action, up to and including expulsion.
Salazar strives to maintain a positive environment for students and staff. Students must be in dress code when they enter the building, including wearing their Salazar ID at all times. Students will be asked to change any clothing that violates these standards and will not be allowed in the classroom until properly dressed.
No student vehicles are allowed on Salazar campus.
According to Texas state law, all school campuses other than the DAEP campus are off limits to students during their placement period, including attendance at Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD extra-curricular activities on or off school property. Students violating this law are subject to criminal trespass charges and further discipline action.
Exiting From DAEP:
A review for exit from DAEP will be held upon completion of the DAEP program requirements; however, non-attendance or lack of positive progress in behavior and academics may result in an extension of the placement time. Students may return to the home campus only after obligations for completion have been fulfilled. Expulsion from the program can occur if the student chooses to violate the above guidelines or Student Code of Conduct.
In addition to the Dress and Grooming Policy of the CFBISD Student Code of Conduct, students at the Bea Salazar Learning Center must be in the dress code outlined below starting their first day of enrollment. Please prepare for the dress code as follows:

Principal is the Final Authority

The ruling of the building principal regarding compliance or non-compliance with the Dress & Grooming Policy and corresponding consequences assigned for violation of this policy is final, and may not be appealed to the Superintendent, his/her designee, or the Board.
District guidelines state that a first placement in DAEP is for 45 days, with a review at 30 days.
Second and subsequent placements during a school year are for 60 days.
Success Trackers
Success trackers are used to check and communicate progress across three domains:
Attendance
Behavior and Social-Emotional Skills
Academics (Effort and Grades)
We aim to have all students succeed in all three areas. Students who fall below expectations in any of these areas may need to meet with advisors and administration to set goals and make a plan for improving.
Review for Exit
Students are reviewed for possible exit from DAEP when they have demonstrated continued success in attendance, behavior, and academics (grades).
Releases (or exits) are contingent upon the student’s completion of DAEP requirements.
Must follow rules of Bea Salazar Learning Center and CFBISD’s Student Code of Conduct.
Complete all assigned academic work.
Must be in dress code (including ID) and on time.
Respectful at all times to staff and peers.
Maintain self-control.
Eyes open, head up.
Raise hand for permission to speak, stand or get out of your desk.
Follow all directions.
Attendance Policies
Your student will need to attend school every day for attendance credit AND to earn points toward their successful release from Salazar.
Class starts at 7 a.m., so students need to be in the front door between 6:40 - 6:50 a.m., to get through the check-in procedure, and be prepared to start class on time. Buses drop off around 6:40 a.m.
Students are tardy if not in line by 7 a.m.
Students who arrive more than 15 minutes late will be counted absent from that class on their Success Trackers.
Parents must report any absences to the attendance clerk so they can be verified in accordance with CFBISD Attendance Policies. Attendance requirements specific to remote learning will be explained by office staff and/or the student’s advisory teacher upon enrollment.
Senate Bill 1, Chapter 37, as passed by the 74th Texas Legislature, establishes the following academic provisions for students placed into DAEP: “Each school district shall provide an alternative education program that focuses on English language arts, mathematics, science, history, and self-discipline . . .”
All students are taught by certified classroom teachers using district curriculum. In addition, activities led by the staff are designed to teach students new ways of thinking and behaving to enhance their self-discipline.
According to Texas state law, all CFBISD school campuses and facilities, except the Salazar campus, are off-limits to students during their DAEP placement period.
This includes all school properties and extra-curricular activities.
Students violating this law are subject to criminal trespass charges and further disciplinary action.
