2008 Annual Report - Communities In Schools of Chicago

There is no better bridge builder.
Communities In Schools of Chicago
2008 Annual Report
Dear Friends,
In this, CISC’s twentieth year, we connected services to our largest group of students
yet – an incredible 62,000. We did it by improving the most critical components of our
organization, from our program model to our partners, staff, Board of Directors and
funders.
Mission
Communities In Schools of Chicago repositions
existing community resources into school sites
to help young people successfully learn, stay in
school and prepare for life.
When CISC was founded in 1988, we worked directly with individual students.
Realizing that we could have a much greater impact on the children of Chicago by
working with the whole school, we began to create the school-based service delivery
model we use today. Our service model has continued to evolve as we have learned to
serve more students with greater efficiency.
The success of this evolution is reflected in the growth and achievements of our
network of partners. We now have 162 school partners, and we connect services to
an additional 150 non-partner schools each year. Our network of service providers has
grown to more than 130 and the average number of services provided and students
reached per provider also has steadily increased.
And perhaps most importantly, we continue to strengthen our staff through recruiting
and training of high quality, motivated individuals. CISC’s staff is at the core of all of our
accomplishments. Their passion, dedication and hard work are invaluable.
CISC’s accomplishments are rooted in our committed Board of Directors and Board of
Advisors. Our Directors not only guide our strategic planning, program direction and
resource development, but their increased financial support is the backbone of CISC’s
plan for organizational expansion. And their commitment to CISC is matched by our
generous funders. Whenever CISC identifies a new challenge or an area with growth
potential, our funders respond with enthusiastic support.
This is still only the beginning. As CISC moves toward its goal of serving 100,000
students a year, we think of a comment made by Board Advisor Arne Duncan, Chief
Executive Officer of Chicago Public Schools, “There is no one better in the city than
CISC at linking our schools with great partners in the community who can come in and
provide desperately needed services… there’s no better bridge-builder.”
From all of us at CISC on behalf of the students who now face a brighter future, thank
you for being a part of this important work. We invite you to read this report to learn
more about the specific accomplishments we have achieved.
Sincerely,
Kevin Evanich
Board Chair Partner, Kirkland & Ellis
Jane Mentzinger
Executive Director

Why bridges?
More than 85 percent of students at CISC partner schools come from low-income homes
without a bridge to community resources that offer access to basic social, emotional, and
medical support and enrichment opportunities. In our inner-city, the ratio of children to
pediatricians is more than twice the national standard for underservice. Only five percent of
Chicago families living on the West and South sides visit the city’s large arts organizations. And,
in any given year, only 20 percent of children and adolescents with mental disorders are identified
and receive mental health services.
Students and their families often look to schools for these important connections. But many
schools only have a nurse a couple days a week, they have just one counselor for every 360
students and can offer, on average, merely 40 minutes of arts instruction a week. Even the best
schools are stretched thin meeting children’s academic needs – the schools need help finding and
building relationships with outside partners.
Hospitals, universities, museums, government agencies, theaters, corporations, and local nonprofits want access to schools. But entering and navigating schools can be challenging and many
providers are not familiar with the unique requirements for school-based service delivery.
Communities In Schools of Chicago
At a Glance
Why?
Many Chicago public school students lack access to
doctors and counselors, health and safety educators
and enrichment opportunities. They and their parents
look to schools to fill these extracurricular needs but
many schools are under-resourced and stretched just to
address academics.
85% of Chicago public school students come from low-income homes.
What?
CISC connects students with social, emotional, health
and enrichment programs and services that address
identified priorities – connected and delivered at no
cost to schools or students.
How?
CISC creates new connections and builds lasting
relationships between schools and existing community
resources. Schools are trained in assessment,
evaluation and coordination skills and receive
continuing support through our Veteran School
Network. Social service agencies learn to utilize the
school-based service delivery concept and become
experts at shaping, managing and customizing their
programs.

The Results
Last year, more than 62,000 students across the city
accessed more than 1,200 services and programs they
would not have received without CISC. Important
services were delivered – from vision, dental and
asthma care to conflict resolution and anger management and from health prevention and education to arts,
music and theater programs – that would not have
reached students without CISC.
The Impact
CISC maximizes resources. Schools can recognize and
address student needs better than before. Service
roviders increase the quality and reach of their
programs. Donors see each dollar they invest in CISC
result in five dollars worth of services and programs for
our city’s children.

More bridges
Every year, CISC increases our reach to students, schools and service providers. In just the last
year we grew our number of student connections more than 10% to more than 62,000. Increases
covered a number of important services:
• The number of students receiving life skills
and conflict resolution programs doubled from
the year before to more than 8,000.
• Through our acclaimed vision partnerships,
we connected 12,000 students – a nearly 20%
increase – with vision screenings and glasses.
• 30% more schools connected with arts
programs, including three high-quality theaters
– the Chocolate Chips Theatre Company,
Emerald City Theatre and the Lyric Opera –
who together served more than 7,500
students.
• Our academic enrichment connections,
including academic support, financial education,
literacy, science and tutoring programs, more
than doubled to 16,000 students.
• In oral health, a growing priority area, CISC
connected oral health education, direct oral
health services, and toothbrush donations to
30% more students.

One of the true measures of our success is the growth and vitality of our Veteran
School Network. These are schools that have been working with CISC for more than
four years, and are sustaining and creating community partnerships with technical
assistance and program referrals from CISC.
During the 2007-2008 school year:
Alexander Fleming Branch School*
Frederick Funston Elementary*
Gage Park High School
Stephen F. Gale Community Academy*
Galileo Scholastic Academy*
•94% of the veteran schools connected services to students.
•24 of the veteran schools connected their entire student populations with CISC-linked programs and services.
•36 veteran schools worked with at least three returning partners.
•44 veteran schools accessed at least eight CISC-linked services.
•More than 50 veteran schools have sent representatives to CISC training sessions and events to learn strategies for sustaining community partnerships.
As a result, nearly 36,000 students at veteran schools were served by more than 800
CISC-connected program and services.

Stronger Foundations
CISC’s accomplishments rest on a strong foundation – the individuals, foundations and corporations that
make our work possible. Led by the Leaders in Learning Circle, our donors leverage their investment. CISC
connects $5 worth of services for every $1 donated. Every gift has a direct impact on children throughout
Chicago.
•The Chicago Sun-Times gift supported our work in 25 schools.
•The Gilead Foundation made desperately needed HIV/AIDS education possible.
•The PepsiCo Foundation ensured that students received nutrition education and physical
activity programs.
•The McCormick Foundation and Lloyd A. Fry Foundation helped expand our support for
service providers.
•The Circle of Service Foundation tripled their commitment specifically to support CISC’s
long-term growth.
Board Advisor and Leaders in Learning member Walter D. Scott thinks of it this way - “My donation provides
programs that can transform a child’s life, and that is an extraordinary buy. And the fact that the dollars
spent supporting CISC’s efforts are multiplied by the wonderful service providers who are positioned into
schools also gives you a return on your investment.”
We are fortunate to have and are appreciative of our funders’ growing support and long-term commitment.

CISC’s top commodity is our staff. They are highly educated and trained in many areas
including education, evaluation, public policy, health and social services and strategic
planning. Our success throughout the years can be attributed directly to our staff and
the strength of their skills.
During the last 13 years, the CISC staff has developed the tools and protocol necessary
for schools and service providers to master the school-based delivery system.
Our school partners are trained in identifying and updating school priorities; accessing and
implementing services; building awareness of school-based community organizations and
CISC; maintaining open communication with community partners; evaluating the
effectiveness of a service; and cultivating and acknowledging community partners.
Our network of service providers are ahead of the curve as CISC works with them
on content and curriculum (with an emphasis on age- and culturally-appropriate
curriculum); quality of presentation; internal evaluation of programs; partnership building
(with schools and other providers); program impact; professional conduct; and
coordination and integration beyond the classroom.
