Tonya Flanagan speaks with Tami Hance-Lehr discussing Communities in Schools (CIS), a nonprofit focused on removing barriers to student success. CIS places full-time team members in high-need schools to provide basic needs, mental health support, and case management. The program, which has been operating for nearly 50 years, serves students from elementary to high school, addressing issues like food insecurity, housing instability, and chronic absenteeism. CIS operates in both public and charter schools, collaborating with over 120 community partners. The organization emphasizes a data-driven approach, aiming to support students holistically and improve educational outcomes.
