Last year, students in various grade levels shared with us how Communities In Schools Dallas Region (CISDR) has made an

impact in their lives. One, Christian,began his response with the following: CIS has given me hope that I could go to college.

Hope. It is an extremely powerful motivator. As our societybecomes increasingly global and opportunities created, it is imper-

ative that we ensure that the thousands of at-risk students in public schools across the Dallas region have access to and are

equipped to fill jobs that pay a living wage and allow them to be contributing and productive members of our communities.

A college education must be a tangible and achievable goal for these children. Now, as a college freshman, Christian is just

one of many for whom CISDR is helping to make this a reality.

In 2006-2007, CISDR completed an extraordinary year with an unprecedented 21% increase in the number of students receiv-

ing comprehensive individualized services and academic sup-

port. This was made possible by new partners from all sectors of

the community. With your support, CISDR has leveraged our

resources to put in place a comprehensive college and career

readiness program for students at the elementary level through

high school, beginning next year. This is just one of the respon-

sive, focused program components designed to liberate and cul-

tivate the potential of at-risk children.

Low performing students who are likely to drop out also are capable children who can be successful in school and in life. The

opportunityto engage each one in learning, to inspire withself-confidence and to givesteadfast support in overcoming obsta-

cles on the path to personal achievement belongs to us all.

Exhilarated and resolute, CISDR moves toward our 25th anniversary in 2010 set to engage thousands more struggling

schoolchildren who are on thepath to dropping out. Until we can get to them with help, thefuture of each of these students

hangs in the balance. In truth, the future of our communities, our state and our country are all at stake. These are our

children and our future.

In 2006, this much was clear: Across the nation,

public schools were in crisis. Termed the Silent

Epidemic, thanks to a landmark study by Civic

Enterprises in conjunction with the Bill & Melinda Gates

Foundation, the alarming increase in the nations high

school dropout rate received widespread media atten-

tion, and sparked contentious debates in the education

public policy arena. Closer to home, media headlines

questioned the validity of the ratessome indicating as

many as a third of the nations students do not gradu-

ate from high schoolwhile others scrutinized under-

performing schools in local districts.

As debates raged on the exact scope and magnitude

of the problem, its causes and potential remedies, what

no one disputed is the fact that when thousands of

children are not equipped with the education and skills

to sustain themselves for the long-term, the resulting

effects to the social and economic wellbeing of a

community are devastating.

In the districts currently served by Communities In

Schools Dallas Region, Inc. (CISDR) in Dallas, Collin and

Ellis counties, nearly 42% of students are at risk of failure

in school, according to the Texas Education Agency (TEA).

Consider their impact on our communities:

The Dallasregion faces the prospect of a growing unskilled,

under-educated population that cannotmeet the demands of

a technology-based workplace, according to a March 2007

report by Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.

Of the students enrolled in 7th grade in Dallas-area

schools in 1992, only 80% were still enrolled in 9th

grade; 56% were high school graduates; 44% enrolled

in higher education after high school graduation; and

13% completed a higher education degree by 2003.

High school dropouts will earn half the annual income of

high school graduates and less than one-third of the

income earned by college graduates.

Dropouts are more likely than high school graduates

to be unemployed, in poor health, living in poverty, on

public assistance, single parents with children who drop

out of high school, and nearly completely missing from

the civic lives of their communities.*

The long-term consequences of the dropout crisis to

society will be devastatingand far reachingif left un-

checked.As parents, teachers,school administrators, business

professionals and community advocates, we allhave a

vested interest in seeing our children succeed.

Since 1985, CISDR has championed the

connection of caring adults and vital com-

munity resources with schools to attend to

the unmet needs of more then 375,000

at-risk youth. Each year, our evidence-

based case management model has posted

consistent increases in retention, academic achieve-

ment and graduation rates among students served.

We recognize that every child needs and deserves

the resources that make the difference between a

graduate and a dropout. With your support, CISDR is

making that difference.

We are extremely appreciative of the assistance

Communities In Schools [provides] for our students.

Their academic-support programs have proven

successful in the past, and we look forward to

expanding our work with them to benefit children.

Jim Nelson, Superintendent of Richardson

Independent School District

Through a proven case-management model, CISDR

works in tandem with students, educators, parents and

community volunteersto develop individualized plans that

meet the specific needs of each child we serve. Plans may

include, among other things, academic tutoring and

mentoring; crisis intervention and anger management

training;basic needs assistance such as food, clothing and

school supplies; and referrals to other social service

agencies. CISDR staff then monitors each students

progress throughout the year in core academic

competencies, behavior and attendance.

During the 2006-2007 school year, CISDR experienced

unparalleled growth in our program delivery, expanding

core services to 15 new schools and serving an additional

1,343 students over the previous fiscal year. The average

cost to provide CISDR services to case managed students

was $550 per child.

With professional staff working on 54 public school

campuses and two school-linked sites in Dallas, Collin

and Ellis counties, CISDR provided one-on-one case

management and academic support to 7,827 students in

grades pre-k through 12. Of these students:

98% stayed in school,

90% improved in academics, behavior,

and/or attendance, and

90% of eligible seniors graduated.

Even with such tremendous growth this year, CISDR

again posted consistent, positive, measurable results that

best met the learning outcomes of students and schools

in a caring, coordinated and cost-effective manner.

A DemonstratedRecord of Success

Before CIS, I was shy. CIS has helped medevelop my people skills, my confidence

and self-esteem. If I had a project or some-

thing and had to talk in front of people, I

would come to CIS and my case manager

would help me. Now I can get in front of a

crowd of people or other students without

being nervous. CIS has helped me to be

more self-confident, which will help me in

the future to be an attorney. Its made me

feel better knowing that I can do things,

and I dont have to be perfect. I can be

myself in front of people. Brea

Launching TIP (TargetedIntervention Program).In response to the increased dropout rate in districts

across the Dallas region, CISDR launched a Targeted

Intervention Program (TIP) in January 2007. Serving stu-

dents at highest risk of dropping out, TIP enables CISDR

professional staff to work with students to develop a

strategic graduation plan beginning in the 9th grade. Each

individualized plan takes into account a students past

academic record, as well as his/her future learning andcareer objectives. Students then receive case management

services and have their progress tracked each year through

graduation. This will allow CISDR to engage students at

this critical juncture and provide them with a consistent

framework of support on the road to graduation.

Initial funding for the program has been provided by

the Texas Education Agencys Texas High School Project

(THSP), which is aimed at boosting graduation rates and

increasing the number of high school students preparedfor postsecondary success. The THSP is funded publicly

by the Texas state legislature and privately by an alliance

of philanthropic organizations that includes the Bill &

Melinda Gates Foundation, the Michael & Susan Dell

Foundation, and the Wallace Foundation.

The program was initiated at Thomas Jefferson, Spruce,

Bryan Adams, Woodrow Wilson, Sunset and Samuell high

schoolsinDallasISDbeginninginthe2006-2007academicyear.

Investing in success.This year, CISDR was pleased to welcome the supportof new community partners such as the M. R. & Evelyn

Hudson Foundation, Henry W. Bass Foundation, Dallas

Foundation, Sturgis Educational Charitable Trusts, RGK

Foundation and Washington Mutual. These partnerships

allowed for the expansion of core program delivery to new

school sites and increased operational capacity at existing

sites. CISDR continued to strengthen longstanding

partnerships with ALON USA, Capital One, Chase,Citi/Citigroup Foundation, ExxonMobil, Harold Simmons

Foundation, Town of Addison and Wachovia. Support from

these and other similar public/private partnerships\

generated $4,614,727 in operational revenue.

Offering continued support tostudents relocating as a resultof Hurricane Katrina.

Providing academic and social support services tostudents impacted by Hurricane Katrina remained a top

priority for CISDR campus staff. The agency received

funds totaling $396,300 from the North Texas Council

of Governments and $60,000 from the Communities In

Schools National Hurricane Fund to provide case

management in CISDR partner schools with large

populations of former New Orleans residents.

More than 300 New Orleans schoolchildren received

services, including 150 students in grades pre-k through

12 who participated in a six-week summer program

called Crescent City Kids. Camp participants in elemen-

tary and middle school received specialized academic

support in areas such as math, science and critical think-

ing; while high school participants set their sights on the

future through career exploration, experiential field trips

and college visits. The Crescent City Kids program culmi-

nated in a three-day trip to San Antonio where students

relived Texas history through a guided tour of the famed

Alamo, and explored the citys other attractions includ-

ing the River Walk and SeaWorld.

Expanding summer

learning initiatives.CISDR reinforced its commitment to providing at-risk

students a strong educational foundation with the

expansion of our Summer Tracks learning camps

launched the previous summer. More than 430 students

took part in twice-daily educational offerings designed to

bothentertain and underscore core academic competencies.

The curricula, designed and implemented by our staff,

included activities such as chess, theatre arts, science,

leadership training, and soccer designed to promote

critical thinking, self-expression, teamwork and other

learning objectives. The programs ran from four to six

weeks at 16 school sites across the Dallas region.

Strengthening communitypartnerships.

CISDR launched a series of quarterly Community

Leaders Luncheons held at local school sites to shed

continued light on the dropout epidemic in local schools,

while introducing civic and business leaders to the CISDR

program. Attendees heard from principals and met with

CISDR students to hear first-hand the positive gains they

have made in their academic achievement and overall

wellbeing through participation in the program. These,

and other targeted marketing efforts, served to position

the issue of dropouts as having tremendous impact on

the health of the entire community.

Helping ChildrenChoose Success.

Myriad reasons abound as to why students gradually

begin to disengage from the educational process. In many

cases, no one cause exists in isolation, which is why

CISDR takes a holistic, wraparound approach to addressing

the needs of each student we serve. By pinpointing the

specific causes for a students academic deficiencies,

CISDR is able to weave together a net of vital community

resources in the school environment that prevents

at-risk students from slipping through the cracks.

CISDR boasts an evidence-based case manage-

ment model that allows us to measure and track

individual student progress throughout the

schoolyear. An individualized case management

plan might include services in the areas of:

Supportive Guidance: One-on-one and/or

group services that address individual student needs

in the areas of attendance, attitude and behavior,

mentoring, peer mediation and violence prevention.

Educational Enhancement: Providing support in all educa-

tional areas as needed to encourage student achievement

and success in his/her school experience.

Health and Human Services: Services that promote

the increase of health and hygiene and coordinate the

delivery of social services such as medical and dental

care, school supplies and clothing, and other basic

needs assistance in conjunction with other

community service providers.

Parental and Family Support: Providing services and

activities that increase the participation of parents in

their students educational experience.

Pre-employment Training: Services planned

and conducted to promote career awareness, job

readiness skills and attainment of employment.

Cultural Enrichment: Services that provide

positive social, cultural, recreational and interpersonal

experiences to broaden and expand a students life

understanding.

With this model, CISDR helps ease the burden on

school resources, strengthen relationships between

home and school, and increase opportunities for positive

choices and academic achievement. Our success with

more than 375,000 students over the last 23 years

demonstrates that dropout prevention is possible when

stakeholders work collectively to identify causes, and

implement remedies that equip children to contribute to

the vibrancy and economic wellbeing of our communities.

I am 150 percent

behind the [CIS]

program. I think its

outstanding work by a

lot of people all over the state. Its the

most successful program that we have

seen to date.

Special InitiativesIn addition to our core service, CISDR offers a vari-

ety of initiatives and programs designed to address

academic areas and subject matter of particular concern

to our students.

Bright Kids Literacy Programs

Reading Improvement: This phonics-based program

addresses the literacy needs of at-risk students in first

through third grades. Students in the Bright Kids

Reading Literacy Program are paired with a volunteer tutor

and meet one hour per week to strengthen their reading

skills by focusing on letter and sound identification,

writing skills and reading comprehension. The program

also serves to increase parental involvement in their

childs academic success by encouraging participation in

school events and by providing regular progress reports.

Easy (Earn, Access, Save-spend-share, Yield): As the

financial literacy component of the Bright Kids Program,

EASY is designed to help students understand how to earn

and manage money through experiential learning activities.

ExxonMobil GEMS

(Girls Exploring Math and Science)GEMS is a math, science and technology program

offering unique classroom and experiential learning

opportunities to strengthen girls interest and skills in

these academic areas. Open to students at risk of failure

in elementary and middle school, GEMS fosters

increased confidence levels and enthusiasm for the

subject matter, while introducing participants to programs

of study and careers that require skills in these areas.

Mobile Services Team

The Mobile Services Team works in tandem with

campus staff to deliver targeted information in the

areas of health and wellness, gang prevention and life

skills. Programs are conducted in small-group settings

at CISDR partner schools or from the agencys 35-foot,

custom-designed mobile unit housing two

self-contained classrooms.

Student Community Partnership

The Student Community Partnership (SCP) provides

summer internships to high school students allowing

them to gain valuable real-world work experience.

Participants receive pre-employment training to develop

an understanding of the attitudes and behaviors necessaryto gain and retain employment, utilize problem-solving

techniques and strengthen communication skills.

Wachovia Building Leaders

This innovative program targeted at students in

grades 4 and 5 develops strengths and assets in at-risk

children to enable them to emerge as leaders in the middle

and high school years. The programs core curriculum

centers on cultivating six pillars of character, includingtrustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring

and citizenship. Through experiential activities participants

learn and practice leadership in a meaningful and

authentic way. The program is coordinated through the

CISDR corporate office for implementation in Houston,

San Antonio, Austin and Dallas-area public schools.

2006-2007 Highlights

In June, four GEMS participants from De Zavala Middle

School in Irving took part in North Texas first annual

All-American Soap Box

Derby sponsored by

Levi Strauss Signature

Brand and the Plano

Rotary. Prior to race

day, each girlconstructed

a soap box racecar with

the help of Rotary vol-

unteers. Over the next

several weeks, partici-

pants honed their

math and science skills through instruction in aerody-

namics and physics, before taking part in the big race,

where one CISDR student placed in the top 10. GEMS

also participated in the annual Introduce a Girl to

Engineering Day at ExxonMobil international

headquarters, which presented careers in engineering,

science and math as viable career options for women.

Four CISDR students were placed in eight-week summer

internships at Guaranty Bank. Among them was

Claudia(below, second from left), a graduating senior at

Skyline High School, who performed well above expectations

and was subsequently hired to work fulltime in the

banks human resources department. Additional

participants gained business, communication and

interpersonal skills working in the areas of loan

support, credit, mailroom and reception.

More than 100 students at Janie Stark Elementary

and Farmers Branch Elementary in Carrollton-

Farmers Branch ISD, Maple Lawn Elementary in Dallas

ISD and Mark Twain Elementary in Richardson ISD took

part in leadership training this year through the

Wachovia Building Leaders Program. Students

participated in a variety of experiential learning

activities, including visits to local city government

offices, and service-learning projects to improve their

schools and neighborhoods. The summer afforded

Wachovia participants an unmatched opportunity to

immerse themselves in leadership-in-action through

a visit to the nations capitol. The four-day trip to

Washington, D.C., included a guided city tour organizedby representatives of Texas Senator John Cornyn, and a

first-hand look at a congressional session.

CISDRs three-person Mobile Services Team conducted

347 group sessions with more than 4,200 students

this year. Session topics ranged from anger manage-

ment and violence prevention to substance abuse and

career exploration. In addition, Mobile Services helped

increase the agencys visibility in the community

through participation in health and education fairs

sponsored by various local organizations.

Among CISDRs core values is the belief that educa-

tion is key to success in life, which is why we will

place greater emphasis on enhancing the academic

components of our case management model in the year

ahead. Efforts to that end have begun with implementation

of the agencys newly developed Targeted Intervention

Program (TIP) at underperforming high schools in the

Dallas Independent School District, which will continue

in the 2007-2008

school year.

Within the existing

case management

model, CISDR

professional staff will

tackle students issues

related to behavior and

attendance as these

have the greatest

impact on learning.

If a child is consistently

absent from the school

environment or has

behavioral issues that

are disruptive to the

teaching process, these

will affect his/her abili-

ty to excel academically. By removing these obvious

barriers to learning, students will better be able to

focus on meeting educational objectives.

Among the core academic competencies on which

CISDR will focus will be math, science and technology.

Recognizing that these are subjects in which many

students face the most difficulty, yet which present the

most opportunity for future employment prospects,

CISDR is developing specialized curricula to boost

students knowledge in these critical areas. A model

program currently under development for implementation

in the 2008-2009 academic year will place greater

emphasis on tutoring, and activities that build

self-esteem and confidence in these topics.

In as much as CISDR remains focused on promoting

classroom education, we recognize that many of our

studentsare often limited

in their exposure to real-

world experiences. To

that end, CISDR will

increasingly undertake

experiential- and service-

learning opportunities

that introduce students

to arts and culture, that

allow them to develop

and utilize proper social

skills, and that connect

their classroom learning

with the political, social

and economic realties of

an ever-expanding

global community. The

ultimate result being

students will receive a world perspective that extends

beyond the often-limited confines of their homes and

neighborhoods.

The goal of these and other strategic initiatives will

remain to prepare at-risk schoolchildren to become

well-rounded individuals who can contribute to the

continued vitality of our communities and are equipped

to compete in the global marketplace.
