RURAL EXPANSION
In partnership with Gov. Bill Lee's administration and the General Assembly, CIS launched a three-year rural pilot in 2019. Our work has helped reduce chronic absenteeism, improve educational outcomes and raise graduation rates in 23 high schools across 15 of the state's most economically distressed communities.
