• Comprehensive Student Dropout Prevention Initiative - DOE - Communities In Schools of Georgia receives funding through the Georgia Department of Education to provide dropout prevention support to youth in grades K-12 through our network of local CIS affiliate organizations. During FY2025, Communities In Schools (CIS) of Georgia provided training and technical support to 16 CIS local CIS affiliates and 19 CIS of Georgia subsidiary organizations located throughout the state. These CIS organizations provided services to students in 46 school districts across 41 counties in Georgia. CIS of Georgia provided support to our state network in development and implementation of the proven CIS Model of wraparound services for schools and students. In addition, CIS of Georgia provided technical support to affiliates and subsidiaries in the areas of nonprofit management, board development, resource development, communications, and evaluation for the purpose of enhancing affiliate partnerships and improving outcomes for the schools and students they serve. In total, CIS of Georgia staff recorded 1,629 technical assistance and training contacts. This work included 496 site visits and 1,063 more formal support services taking place through events, formal trainings, meetings, and webinars. During FY2025, local CIS affiliates provided services to a total of 118,912 Georgia students (unduplicated) at 216 school and community-based sites, including providing intensive sustained services to 8,958 at-risk students in need of on-going support, and whole-school prevention services and short-term intervention services to 117,454 students.

• CIS of Georgia won a 5-year US Department of Education Full-Service Community Schools grant which started in January of 2023. The Full-Service Community Schools (FSCS) program provides support for the planning, implementation, and operation of full-service community schools that improve the coordination, integration, accessibility, and effectiveness of services for children and families, particularly for children attending high-poverty schools, including high-poverty rural schools. The Community Schools model, of which Communities In Schools is an example, has four pillars: integrated student supports, expanded and enriched learning time and opportunities, active family and community engagement, and collaborative leadership practices. CIS of Georgia chose the high-poverty rural schools priority and committed to extra programs to address mental health and juvenile crime prevention. The grant allows CIS to serve 12 new schools and expand services in three previous sites. The schools represent seven districts (Ben Hill, Berrien, Candler, Dublin City, Laurens, Troup, and Twiggs) in six counties. CIS began serving these schools at the beginning of the FY2024 school year. CISGA provided case management to 905 students in the 2024-2025 academic year and all 25 of 12th-grade case managed students successfully graduated. The average percentage of days absent for chronically absent students improved, dropping from 14% at baseline to 9% at the end of the school year. Interviews with stakeholders showed that the dedication of SCs to building strong relationships with students, families, and school staff is a recurring theme, often serving as the cornerstone of their impact. School administrators also highly value the support SCs provide to their most vulnerable students.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.
