Texas Education Agency, Evaluation of Communities in Schools (CIS) of Texas ● ● Provides case-managed services that help students graduate and provide them the skills needed after they leave high school; and Is working to mitigate the influence of out-of-school risk factors on students and thus is helping to remove some of the barriers that make it difficult for at-risk students to stay in school. Continued evaluation of CIS, in particular regarding the impact on more direct or proximal outcomes and following students over longer periods of time will be important as CIS moves forward and continues to serve students at risk for dropping out.
