Communities In Schools of North Carolina
Overview
• Established in 1989, the organization’s mission
is to surround students with a community of
support, empowering them to stay in school
and achieve in life.
• CIS Student Support Specialists work with school administrators to identify and implement
Integrated Student Supports, which can include services focused on truancy, academic
achievement, extinguishing anti-social behaviors and identifying community resources to
target basic needs as well as mental and physical health needs.
• Student Support Specialists set goals for school-wide services(Level 1) and individual student
services (Level 2) aligned with targeted interventions based on assessed needs.
