Campus Service Delivery

The Five CIS Basics CIS believes that every child needs and deserves: 1. A one-on-one relationship with a caring adult 2. A safe place to learn and grow 3. A healthy start and a healthy future 4. A marketable skill to use upon graduation, and 5. A chance to give back to peers and community

WHY? Because we believe in the power of relationships, CIS provides on-campus integrated student supports that empower students to succeed in school and achieve in life.

OUR MODEL

OUR MODEL CIS provides three tiers of on-campus Integrated Student Supports where we provide our Six Core Services. CIS provides Student Support Specialists to work in the school with staff, students, and families.

Tier I: School-Wide Services Large group efforts focused on prevention, awareness and assetbuilding services within the campus community.

Tier II: Targeted Programs Small group efforts focused on meeting unique goal-focused needs of a sub-group of students and/or their families in the campus community.

Tier III: Individualized Support Walk-In Services & Case Management Intervention

Individualized Support Walk-In Services Efforts designed to meet the basic/emergency/crisis needs of students and/or their families in the campus community.

Individualized Support Case Management Efforts designed to meet the needs of students with multiple risk factors who may benefit from ongoing multi-level support to address academic and nonacademic barriers to success in school and in life.

Evidence of Effectiveness

CIS: A TEA Contracted Organization As a Texas Education Agency (TEA) administered program, CIS serves students for case management intervention who meet the following at-risk indicators: § free and reduced lunch, § failed two or more classes, § failed to advance to the next grade level, § received unsatisfactory scores on assessment tests, § have Limited English Proficiency, (English Language Learner) § are pregnant or parenting, § have foundation skills two or more years behind their grade, and § students who have previously dropped out of school. All services in relation and provided to each student (and their family) are with consent for service, tracked, and recorded to meet the reporting requirements of the Texas Education Agency.
