Form 990 Part III Line 4a - Program service accomplishments School-based Dropout Prevention - CIS assigns full-time staff to work collaboratively with the entire school team on a daily basis to impact student success. Our CIS Site Coordinators address the needs of the total child; determine what a student may require to stay and succeed in school; and deliver those services and/or resources. Their presence in the schools allows them to form lasting, meaningful relationships with the students and families they serve and with the CMS staff in the schools with whom CIS partners. In addition, our Site Coordinators are knowledgeable of, work with, and refer students and families to other county agencies to ensure they get much needed services. This collaborative approach ensures a seamless, efficient use of community resources and coordinated efforts to increase the likelihood of high school graduation and is a proven, cost-effective approach for improving student outcomes. The CIS service continuum is cumulative and changes as its students do. CIS has developed a matrix of non-negotiable service components based on best practices to be delivered at each level PreK through Grade 12. At-risk students are referred to CIS by teachers/other school personnel, social workers, community agencies, and CIS Site Coordinators, and students are enrolled through a tiered enrollment process. CIS students exhibit known risk factors for dropping out of school: poverty; homelessness; high risk peer group; teen parenthood; poor grades, attendance, and behavior; family mobility; sibling(s) dropped out; low parental educational achievement; and/or trouble with juvenile justice system, parents and/or siblings incarcerated.
