Breaking Down Barriers to Academic Success in Northwest Michigan
VANDERBILT, Mich. - s4story -- Communities In Schools of Northwest Michigan (CIS) hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony to officially mark their new partnership with Vanderbilt Area School. The event, held last week at the school, was attended by Superintendent & Principal Dr. David Harwood, CIS Executive Director Amy Burk, students, CIS staff, school staff, and board members.
Serving over 1,600 students in Northwest Michigan, CIS surrounds K-12 pupils and families with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve. CIS has a bold ambition to grow into every Title I-eligible school in America and to build a stronger system that better supports the 12 million students living in poverty nationwide. The Scaling for Success Initiative, funded by Ballmer Group, supports this mission by granting funding to 56 affiliates nationwide, with Communities In Schools of Northwest Michigan among them. Through this funding, CIS was able to expand services in several schools and establish a new partnership with Vanderbilt Area School. CIS of Northwest Michigan is currently established in six school districts: Mancelona, Kalkaska, East Jordan, Ellsworth, Central Lake, and Vanderbilt.
