WHEREAS, Part of the nation's largest and most effective | ||
integrated student support network, CIS of Texas was first | ||
established in 1979, and during its 40 years in Texas, it has | ||
expanded to include 28 affiliates located throughout the state; and | ||
WHEREAS, This notable organization builds relationships that | ||
empower students to stay in school and succeed in life by creating | ||
partnerships with local school districts, businesses, and | ||
communities to provide wraparound services to at-risk students; of | ||
the tens of thousands of students served by CIS each year, 98 | ||

for social services met goals; and | ||
WHEREAS, CIS staff are more involved than ever before in | ||
keeping schools and students safe by implementing crisis response, | ||
campus-wide prevention initiatives, trauma-informed supports, and | ||
individual, family, and group counseling; the organization places | ||
skilled professionals providing campus-based social work and | ||
mental health services free of charge within school buildings; | ||
these interventions help prevent issues from manifesting into more | ||
serious concerns; and | ||
WHEREAS, Helping young Texans to prepare for successful | ||

immeasurable importance, and it is indeed appropriate to take this | ||
