WE FUEL
POTENTIAL

We are a non-profit network of passionate professionals working directly with South Plains school districts to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.

A donation to CIS® is an investment in the future of our community. For less than $500 per child per year, we are able to keep 100% of the young people we serve in school and on track to graduation!

OUR IMPACT

During the 2023-2024 school year, CIS-SP® served 8,627 students through before and after school programs (21st Century/ACE Cycle 10 and Cycle 11) and the CIS® Traditional Model.  Of the 5,740 Case Management students monitored who received targeted interventions services: 96% Improved Academics, 98 % Improved in Behavior, 100% were Promoted to the Next Grade, 82 % improved in attendance, 100% of Eligible Students Graduated, 100% Stayed In School.
