CIS Central Texas Services and Outcomes for Austin Students “Young people thrive when they have a sense of belonging to a caring community.” Bill Milliken​ Founder of Communities In Schools​ @CISCentralTX #AllinForKids The Evidence-based CIS Model Harvard University: CIS Impact on Attendance, Graduation, and Economic Mobility When CIS is on campus, the whole school community succeeds. A landmark study by Opportunity Insights in partnership with the EdRedesign Lab at the Harvard Graduate School of Education analyzed outcomes for more than 16 million Texas students over two decades. The research finds that the Communities In Schools model significantly improves test scores, attendance, graduation rates, college enrollment, and adult earnings by providing individualized, school-based wraparound supports. ➢ Students in CIS schools experienced 5% higher graduation rates and were more likely to be employed as adults. ➢ Every $1,000 invested in CIS supports increased future earnings by $400 per year, compared to $40 from the same investment in class-size reduction. ➢ Long term, a $3,000 investment per student generates more than $75,000 in lifetime earnings and $7,100 in federal tax revenue, making CIS one of the highest-return education interventions studied. Combining the studies, the researchers estimate that CIS produces a 12:1 return on investment based on a combination of educational attainment, lifetime earnings/taxes paid, and lower reliance on public assistance/ likelihood of justice system involvement 4 Integrated Student Support (ISS) Model CIS Layered Supports in Austin 6 Menu of Case Management Services Enrichment: Mental & Behavioral Health: • Behavior Intervention, Skill Building Activities, Conflict Resolution, Crisis Intervention • Mentoring • Professional Mental Health Services • Safety Intervention Student /Teacher Conferences • Field Trips Summer Camps and activities • • Creative Arts/ Recreation activities • Before and after school activities • School Climate activities Case Management/ Academics & Attendance: Goal Setting & Monitoring: • Individual goal setting for academic, attendance, and behavior needs • Goal-related intervention planning with student; monitoring check-ins • Case consultation, staffing, service coordination 7 • Tutoring and Homework Assistance Student / Teacher Conferences • • Attendance Interventions • Language Acquisition Support (Emergent Bilingual) Parent/ Family Engagement: • Home visits • Parent Conferences • Family referrals to community resources • Care Coordination & ASPIRE multi-generational learning programs Health & Human Services: • Basic Needs Assistance: (food, clothing, household, rental assistance, utilities) • Transportation assistance • Independent Living Skills Development • Agency Referrals Who We Serve 72 Schools ▪ 55 Austin ISD ▪ 13 Del Valle ISD ▪ 4 Harmony Public Schools 8 2024-25 Austin ISD Services 28,245 students received school- wide supports 5,114 students received intensive case management $433,569 direct assistance to students & families 94% of student body received school- wide supports (on 55 campuses) 81 81 community community partnerships partnerships provided service provided service 9 Total Unique Services Provided: 188,173 ➢ 61,657 Behavior/mental health supports ➢ 70,923 Individual case management check-ins ➢ 20,931 Basic Needs Assistance ➢ 5,012 Tutoring/ Homework Assistance Sessions ➢ 3,023 Attendance Interventions ➢ 14,277 Parent/Family Engagement Activities 93,981 10 1,438 Intensive Home Visits 9,557 Community Partner-provided Services, totaling 6,815 Hours Direct Financial Assistance for Students and Families CIS Student and Family Assistance (SAFA) provides a variety of financial supports CIS has been a tremendous help.
