Message from the President & CEO
and Board Chair:
Last year, students in various grade levels shared with us how Communities In Schools Dallas Region (CISDR) has made an
impact in their lives. One, Christian, began his response with the following: “CIS has given me hope that I could go to college.”

Hope. It is an extremely powerful motivator. As our society becomes increasingly global and opportunities created, it is imper-
ative that we ensure that the thousands of at-risk students in public schools across the Dallas region have access to and are
equipped to fill jobs that pay a living wage and allow them to be contributing and productive members of our communities.
A college education must be a tangible and achievable goal for these children. Now, as a college freshman, Christian is just
one of many for whom CISDR is helping to make this a reality.

In 2006-2007, CISDR completed an extraordinary year with an unprecedented 21% increase in the number of students receiv-
ing comprehensive individualized services and academic sup-
port. This was made possible by new partners from all sectors of
the community. With your support, CISDR has leveraged our
resources to put in place a comprehensive college and career
readiness program for students at the elementary level through
high school, beginning next year. This is just one of the respon-
sive, focused program components designed to liberate and cul-
Sandra G. Chavarria Karl Schmalz tivate the potential of at-risk children.
President & CEO Chair, Board of Directors

Low performing students who are likely to drop out also are capable children who can be successful in school and in life. The
opportunity to engage each one in learning, to inspire with self-confidence and to give steadfast support in overcoming obsta-
cles on the path to personal achievement belongs to us all.

Exhilarated and resolute, CISDR moves toward our 25th anniversary in 2010 set to engage thousands more struggling
schoolchildren who are on the path to dropping out. Until we can get to them with help, the future of each of these students
hangs in the balance. In truth, the future of our communities, our state and our country are all at stake. These are our
children and our future.

 Our Mission

 Our Children…
Our Future
I
n 2006, this much was clear: Across the nation,
public schools were in crisis. Termed the “Silent
Epidemic,” thanks to a landmark study by Civic
Enterprises in conjunction with the Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation, the alarming increase in the nation’s high
school dropout rate received widespread media atten-
tion, and sparked contentious debates in the education
public policy arena. Closer to home, media headlines
questioned the validity of the rates—some indicating as
many as a third of the nation’s students do not gradu-
ate from high school—while others scrutinized under-
performing schools in local districts.
6
As debates raged on the exact scope and magnitude
of the problem, its causes and potential remedies, what
no one disputed is the fact that when thousands of
children are not equipped with the education and skills
to sustain themselves for the long-term, the resulting
effects to the social and economic wellbeing of a
community are devastating.
In the districts currently served by Communities In
Schools Dallas Region, Inc. (CISDR) in Dallas, Collin and
Ellis counties, nearly 42% of students are at risk of failure
in school, according to the Texas Education Agency (TEA).
Consider their impact on our communities:
• The Dallas region faces the prospect of a growing unskilled,
under-educated population that cannot meet the demands of
a technology-based workplace, according to a March 2007
report by Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.

• Of the students enrolled in 7th grade in Dallas-area

schools in 1992, only 80% were still enrolled in 9th
grade; 56% were high school graduates; 44% enrolled
in higher education after high school graduation; and
13% completed a higher education degree by 2003.

• High school dropouts will earn half the annual income of

high school graduates and less than one-third of the
income earned by college graduates.

• Dropouts are more likely than high school graduates

to be unemployed, in poor health, living in poverty, on
public assistance, single parents with children who drop
out of high school, and nearly completely missing from
the civic lives of their communities.*

The long-term consequences of the dropout crisis to

society will be devastating—and far reaching—if left un-
checked. As parents, teachers, school administrators, business
professionals and community advocates, we all have a
vested interest in seeing our children succeed.

 A Demonstrated
Record of Success
hrough a proven case-management model, CISDR
T works in tandem with students, educators, parents and
community volunteers to develop individualized plans that
meet the specific needs of each child we serve. Plans may
include, among other things, academic tutoring and
mentoring; crisis intervention and anger management
training; basic needs assistance such as food, clothing and
school supplies; and referrals to other social service
agencies. CISDR staff then monitors each student’s
progress throughout the year in core academic
competencies, behavior and attendance.
During the 2006-2007 school year, CISDR experienced
unparalleled growth in our program delivery, expanding

 2006-2007
Highlights
Launching TIP (Targeted
Intervention Program).
In response to the increased dropout rate in districts
across the Dallas region, CISDR launched a Targeted
Intervention Program (TIP) in January 2007. Serving stu-
dents at highest risk of dropping out, TIP enables CISDR
professional staff to work with students to develop a
strategic graduation plan beginning in the 9th grade. Each
individualized plan takes into account a student’s past
academic record, as well as his/her future learning and
career objectives. Students then receive case management
services and have their progress tracked each year through
graduation. This will allow CISDR to engage students at
this critical juncture and provide them with a consistent
framework of support on the road to graduation.
Initial funding for the program has been provided by
the Texas Education Agency’s Texas High School Project
(THSP), which is aimed at boosting graduation rates and
increasing the number of high school students prepared
for postsecondary success. The THSP is funded publicly
by the Texas state legislature and privately by an alliance
of philanthropic organizations that includes the Bill &
Melinda Gates Foundation, the Michael & Susan Dell
Foundation, and the Wallace Foundation.
The program was initiated at Thomas Jefferson, Spruce,
Bryan Adams, Woodrow Wilson, Sunset and Samuell high
schools in Dallas ISD beginning in the 2006-2007 academic year.

Investing in success.
This year, CISDR was pleased to welcome the support
of new community partners such as the M. R. & Evelyn
Hudson Foundation, Henry W. Bass Foundation, Dallas
Foundation, Sturgis Educational Charitable Trusts, RGK
Foundation and Washington Mutual. These partnerships
allowed for the expansion of core program delivery to new
school sites and increased operational capacity at existing
sites. CISDR continued to strengthen longstanding
partnerships with ALON USA, Capital One, Chase,
Citi/Citigroup Foundation, ExxonMobil, Harold Simmons
Foundation, Town of Addison and Wachovia. Support from
these and other similar public/private partnerships\
generated $4,614,727 in operational revenue.
Offering continued support to
students relocating as a result
of Hurricane Katrina.
Providing academic and social support services to
students impacted by Hurricane Katrina remained a top
priority for CISDR campus staff. The agency received
funds totaling $396,300 from the North Texas Council
of Governments and $60,000 from the Communities In
Schools National Hurricane Fund to provide case
management in CISDR partner schools with large
populations of former New Orleans residents.
More than 300 New Orleans schoolchildren received
 services, including 150 students in grades pre-k through
12 who participated in a six-week summer program
called Crescent City Kids. Camp participants in elemen-
tary and middle school received specialized academic
support in areas such as math, science and critical think-
ing; while high school participants set their sights on the
future through career exploration, experiential field trips
and college visits. The Crescent City Kids program culmi-
nated in a three-day trip to San Antonio where students
relived Texas history through a guided tour of the famed
Alamo, and explored the city’s other attractions includ-
ing the River Walk and SeaWorld.
Expanding summer
learning initiatives.
CISDR reinforced its commitment to providing at-risk
students a strong educational foundation with the
expansion of our Summer Tracks learning camps
launched the previous summer. More than 430 students
“CIS has made my life better because they have
given me hope that I could go to college. I thought

to realize that.” — Christian, Class of 2007
took part in twice-daily educational offerings designed to
both entertain and underscore core academic competencies.
The curricula, designed and implemented by our staff,
included activities such as chess, theatre arts, science,
leadership training, and soccer designed to promote
critical thinking, self-expression, teamwork and other
learning objectives. The programs ran from four to six
weeks at 16 school sites across the Dallas region.
Strengthening community

Leaders Luncheons held at local school sites to shed

continued light on the dropout epidemic in local schools,
while introducing civic and business leaders to the CISDR
program. Attendees heard from principals and met with
CISDR students to hear first-hand the positive gains they
have made in their academic achievement and overall
wellbeing through participation in the program. These,
and other targeted marketing efforts, served to position
the issue of dropouts as having tremendous impact on
the health of the entire community.
Helping Children
Choose Success.
Myriad reasons abound as to why students gradually
begin to disengage from the educational process. In many
cases, no one cause exists in isolation, which is why
CISDR takes a holistic, wraparound approach to addressing
the needs of each student we serve. By pinpointing the
specific causes for a student’s academic deficiencies,
CISDR is able to weave together a net of vital community
resources in the school environment that prevents
at-risk students from slipping through the cracks.
CISDR boasts an evidence-based case manage-
ment model that allows us to measure and track
individual student progress throughout the
school year. An individualized case management
plan might include services in the areas of:
• Supportive Guidance: One-on-one and/or
group services that address individual student needs
in the areas of attendance, attitude and behavior,
mentoring, peer mediation and violence prevention.
• Educational Enhancement: Providing support in all educa-
tional areas as needed to encourage student achievement
and success in his/her school experience.
• Health and Human Services: Services that promote
the increase of health and hygiene and coordinate the
delivery of social services such as medical and dental
care, school supplies and clothing, and other basic
needs assistance in conjunction with other
community service providers.
• Parental and Family Support: Providing services and
activities that increase the participation of parents in
their students’ educational experience.
• Pre-employment Training: Services planned
and conducted to promote career awareness, job
readiness skills and attainment of employment.
• Cultural Enrichment: Services that provide
positive social, cultural, recreational and interpersonal
experiences to broaden and expand a students’ life
understanding.
With this model, CISDR helps ease the burden on
school resources, strengthen relationships between
home and school, and increase opportunities for positive
choices and academic achievement. Our success with
more than 375,000 students over the last 23 years
demonstrates that dropout prevention is possible when
stakeholders work collectively to identify causes, and
implement remedies that equip children to contribute to
the vibrancy and economic wellbeing of our communities.
