Southwest Key operates four JJAEPs in Texas. These are alternative schools for students who have been expelled as a result of certain offenses committed on a school campus, such as felony drug possession, assault, or weapons possession. Southwest Key’s Travis County JJAEP is one of only three therapeutic alternative schools in the state, placing a heavy emphasis on counseling and behavior management.
