Strengthening Long-Term Impact

Communities In Schools® (CIS®) of Central Ohio has grown substantially over the past six years, expanding from nine school partnerships in one community to 46 schools across six cities. Their larger footprint is reflected in their new name: CIS of Ohio.

They believe the Ballmer investment will allow them to more effectively engage district partners to bring CIS into additional Title-I schools and show the long-term benefit and impact of partnering with CIS. In addition to adding more schools across the state, they have also been committed to building and strengthening their infrastructure to support their growing site coordinator team and maintain strong fidelity to the CIS model.
