Unlocking the Full Potential of Students in Charleston
COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS ANNUAL IMPACT REPORT 2014 Unlocking the Full Potential of Students in Charleston cischarleston.org COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS ANNUAL IMPACT REPORT 2014 Unlocking the Full Potential of Students in Charleston DEAR FRIENDS, Fiscal year 2013-2014 was an outstanding one for Communities In Schools of the Charleston Area! Twenty-five years after its establishment here, our organization continues to do whatever it takes to keep Charleston area students in school and on track to graduation. With this report on our activities and accomplishments during the past year, we invite you to share with us in our successes and take pride in what our community is doing collectively to ensure that, for each new generation, the cycles of poverty and underachievement are replaced by pathways to opportunity and success. This past year, we provided our services in 30 schools in Charleston and Berkeley Counties and served more than 14,000 students in grades K through 12. In June, we witnessed 95% of our case-managed seniors walk across the stage at six graduation ceremonies, and rejoiced when three of those graduates were valedictorians and one a salutatorian. Of those Class of 2014 graduates, 88% were accepted into college and 10% enlisted in the military. Lives that could have been limited by leaving school without a diploma were significantly and positively altered to make way for new options and opportunities. These successes could not have happened without your assistance We thank you for your help in giving at-risk students the support they need to stay in school and achieve in life. BEST REGARDS, JANE RILEY GAMBRELL, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR DANIEL F. KASSIS, CIS BOARD CHAIRMAN 3 COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS ANNUAL IMPACT REPORT 2014 Unlocking the Full Potential of Students in Charleston “At-risk youth face untold hazards in their environments, and one by one these burdens pile up until a student just can’t stand the weight any longer. These students aren’t walking out the front door of their school in protest. Instead, the floor is giving way under their feet.” DANIEL CARDINALI, PRESIDENT, COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS Communities In Schools is a nationwide network of passionate professionals working in public schools to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. During the 2013-2014 school year, Communities In Schools of the Charleston Area served more than 14,000 students in 30 schools in Berkeley and Charleston Counties, helping to break the cycle of poverty, school failure and underemployment. This report outlines the accomplishments of Communities In Schools of the Charleston Area during the 2013–14 school year and includes projections for the coming year. It also presents data on the percentage of students who were promoted from one grade to another, who graduated from high school or otherwise improved their performance, and how this success was achieved. “Our CIS Student Support Specialist is one of the most critical individuals in our school. The victory is able to occur in the classroom because our specialist is able to see that basic needs, medical attention, and student incentives are in place. Now students are ready to learn. Parents who receive help through CIS are more willing to be a part of their child’s educational experience.” SUSAN MILES, PRINCIPAL, JANE EDWARDS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 4 COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS ANNUAL IMPACT REPORT 2014 Unlocking the Full Potential of Students in Charleston ABOUT COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS NATIONALLY Communities In Schools is the only dropout prevention organization proven to both lower dropout rates and increase graduation rates. What sets Communities In Schools apart is the organization’s holistic approach to addressing both the academic and nonacademic needs of students. Working with school staff, Communities In Schools site coordinators — who are positioned in schools — identify students in danger of dropping out, assess what resources they need, and then provide those resources through the appropriate community partnerships. These resources include food, clothing, transportation, housing, medical and dental care, mental health services, mentoring and much more. At Communities In Schools, we work to change the picture of education for more than 1.3 million kids every year. We do this by 1. Ensuring kids attend school, 2. Doing whatever it takes to eliminate barriers, and 3. Providing options so we never give up on anyone NATIONAL DISTRIBUTION OF CIS SERVICES 5 COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS ANNUAL IMPACT REPORT 2014 Unlocking the Full Potential of Students in Charleston ABOUT COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS OF THE CHARLESTON AREA Communities In Schools of the Charleston Area was established in 1989, following a study by Johns Hopkins University in Maryland that advised the Charleston County School District to implement dropout prevention programs.

While Leondra officially case manages thirty-six students, she knows each of the school’s 153 students by name and her door is always open to students who need assistance. From securing basic needs for her families to providing college preparation, Leondra is not afraid to do whatever it takes to see every child at her school succeed. During the 20132014 school year, Leondra put together financial aid packets, SAT/ACT study plans, edited application and scholarship essays, met with parents about financial aid and persistently created a plan for each of the school’s fifteen seniors. As a result, fourteen were accepted into college with financial assistance and one enlisted in the military. Dr. Yvonne Commodore, principal at Lincoln Middle High School, credits Leondra with the successes her school has seen: “I cannot imagine our school without the resources that Ms. Stoney provides. Our families trust her and often seek her help when they are in difficult situations.” MEET ONE OF OUR STUDENTS KADEIDRA WILDER Kadeidra was only a freshman at St. John’s High School when she started visiting Brenda Middleton, one of three site coordinators at the school. At 14, Kadeidra was working hard to overcome the social and emotional obstacles she was facing. Her brother had just passed away and her home life was making it difficult for her to stay focused at school. With the help of Ms. Middleton, Kadeidra, now a senior at St. John’s, is not only on track to graduate this spring, but has also become heavily involved in extracurricular activities. During Spring Break, Kadeidra, along with several of her classmates, presented to senior staff of the National Library of Medicine, a division of the National Institutes of Health, as part of the Teen Health Leadership Program (THLP) at St. John’s High School. The THLP seeks to increase health literacy through access to quality health information, develop young leaders, and support students’ community engagement. As for life after high school, Kadeidra plans on majoring in Computer Technology at Trident Tech. “Knowing that the majority of my family didn’t attend college, it brings me the realization that I can do the things that they never had the chance to do. “ 8 COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS ANNUAL IMPACT REPORT 2014 Unlocking the Full Potential of Students in Charleston FINANCIALS STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES For the year ending June 30, 2014: SUPPORT & REVENUES BY SOURCES, 2013-2014 Government Grants & Contracts (41%) Corporate/Foundation Grants (21%) Trident United Way (20%) Grants via CIS National (9%) Individual Giving (5%) Special Events (4%) 9 COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS ANNUAL IMPACT REPORT 2014 Unlocking the Full Potential of Students in Charleston THANK YOU TO OUR DONORS MEETING THE MATCH CONTRIBUTORS Gold Scholar Principal’s List Steve and Jeanette Bloss William and Lydia Applegate Anonymous Virginia Bloss Mason and Mary Holland Kathy Bixler Thomas and Cheryl Boswell Stephen Brewster Frances and Jim Boyd William Buckley Karen Brack Linda Carmody Celeste Broderick Dick Elliott Christine Smalls Brown Susanne Emge Thomas and Nancy Brown Theresa Epting Elizabeth Burke Richard and Jane Farrell Lois Cheney Kendrick Grimes Holly Clarkson Paul Haklisch Claudia Cohen Meghan and Scott Hansen Gerald Cohen Jamie and Liane Kerr Duffy and Leigh Connolly John Madderom Marion and Sharon Cooper Cary McGann Sue Covucci Cheryl Morley Jeffrey Crecelius Richard Pekruhn Lisa Cude Michelle Smith Jim and Linda Daniel Samuel “Buddy” Streit Kenneth and Nell Daniels Salutatorian Mary Lilla Abrams Tim Blanc Dana Collier John and Linda Connolly John Crawford Richard L.
