CIS, Inc. is the Nation's leading organization devoted to bringing the school dropout problem to an end. Its strategy is to train a movement of concerned adults in the methodologies needed to formulate locally owned public/private partnerships that facilitate the innovative delivery of the community's existing education, health, and human services through an education site. The targeted population is at-risk youth and their families. The education, health, and human services are provided at the education site under the direction of the school-based project director, who ensures that the documented services are provided in a coordinated, personal, and accountable manner. Part I of the manual describes the intricacies involved in operating CIS projects. Chapters focus on project personnel, project relationships, recordkeeping, data collection, and budgeting and financial management. Part II of the manual discusses the steps involved in the intake process, which is the first phase in the project's response to at-risk youth. Part III discusses the services offered by or through CIS projects, as well as effective methods for planning and delivering the services. Chapters address education services, health and human services, cultural enrichment and recreation, and parental involvement.
