Communities In Schools of North Carolina (CISNC), part of the leading dropout prevention network in the nation dedicated to empowering students to stay in school and achieve in life, today announces its network data from the 2011-2012 school year. This data can be found in two online documents: Quick Facts 2011-2012 and the 2011-2012 Impact Report. “Last year, our network in North Carolina provided assistance to a record number of students—180,730, to be exact—a 26 percent increase from the prior year” said Linda Harrill, outgoing President & CEO of CISNC. “What’s more impressive is that CISNC provided tailored, customized, one-on-one support to 21,000 students identified as being most at-risk for school failure—comparable to more than 350 school buses full of children—and succeeded in keeping 99 percent of these students in school. We are truly helping to prevent at-risk kids from becoming another dropout statistic.”
