The best teacher, the top administrator, the most outstanding curriculum, the highest standards - None of these will put food in a child’s stomach or a roof over his head.
Bill Milliken, Founder and Vice Chairman, Communities in Schools
Programs don’t change kids - relationships do. Every child needs an adult who’s irrationally committed to his or her future.
Bill Milliken, Founder and Vice Chairman, Communities in Schools
With the demands of the No Child Left Behind Act, so much of our focus is on student achievement and, alone, we lack the resources to address the heart of the problem. CIS Provides students, teachers, parents and administrators support to keep kids in school where they belong.
