Why have CIS?
Students continue to drop out at increasing rates. This is especially prevalent in the Hispanic and African-American populations. These two populations account for over 75% of all students who drop out of school. Even more discouraging, many students that drop out are economically disadvantaged. All of this contributes to an ill-prepared and uneducated workforce.
CIS believes that keeping kids in school is more than a school problem. It is a community problem -- involving parents, neighbors, healthcare providers, business leaders, social workers, counselors, mentors, tutors, and volunteers as part of the solution.
CIS addresses the problem by providing direct services to students. CIS brings resources, volunteers, and service providers into schools and enables them to work as a coordinated team.
