Communities In Schools provides critical support for our Taylor County school students during one of the most challenging stages of their lives.

mrs eskridge has helped me in so many ways the past 3 years of my career at GHS, i wouldn’t have made it through without her or have gotten my grades up. she has made such an impact on my high school experience and has pushed me to always reach my fullest potential
My granddaughter is in Middle School. This program(Valerie Jones) helped so much with the transition from Elementary School.
I remember all of the times I would go into Jen’s office feeling lost or sad and she would always comfort me and give me the best advice, having someone in the school that would listen to my problems and walk me through them is what gets people through highschool, thank you Jennifer
I support CIS to the fullest in schools and believe that it is very important to stay. I myself am a CIS Coordinator and seen the impact it has on our students and families and the importance.
I think this program is one of the best in Taylor County schools. If it had not been for the Communities in School Program my son would've failed the 9th grade, but instead ended up with a full college scholarship, not to mention a better social experience the next three years of his high school education.
Please do not remove this program! Taylor County students need this!
Save it for her.

Losing this program would be devastating to our students who are most in need. We have enough issues getting support in this school district already. In no way, shape, or form do we need to cut funding to one of the few effective programs we have in place for our kids who are struggling.
