• What is Right Turn Discipline Center?

    The Right Turn Discipline Center (RTDC) is a behavior modification program designed to serve students who have been removed from their home campus and assigned to alternative placement for violating the BISD Code of Conduct or students in the BISD who have been charged with other offenses in the community that warrant an assignment. The RTDC program includes the following components:

    • Behavior Management
    • Academics
    • Life Skills
    • Individual and group counseling
    • A structured environment

    All students on the Right Turn campus follow the same general guidelines.
