Friends and supporters of CIS of Coweta County will want to take a look at the Communities In Schools Impact Report for Spring 2015. Recently released by the national organization, this report explains how CIS is partnering with educators to change the picture of education for nearly 1.5 million students. CIS does this by:
1. Keeping students in school.
2. Doing whatever it takes to eliminate barriers.
3. Never giving up on anyone.
Elaine Wynn, chairman of the CIS Board of Directors, noted, "When entire communities take ownership of the dropout crisis—when it becomes about our kids rather than those kids—that's when we know the tide is turning."
The work of CIS is clearly making a difference. A study of case-managed students found that of those served in 2013-2014, 99 percent of the students stayed in school, 93 percent were promoted to the next grade, 91 percent graduated and 83 percent reached their academic goals.
