Bill > SR87

This resolution honors Communities in Schools (CIS), a non-profit organization that supports disadvantaged students in Georgia, by recognizing its significant achievements in helping students succeed academically and personally. The resolution highlights that from 2024 to 2025, CIS provided services to over 120,000 students in nearly 50 school districts, working with 223 schools and achieving impressive outcomes, including a 98% graduation rate, 73% improvement in student attendance, and 76% academic improvement. The resolution specifically commends CIS for its approach of using site coordinators who assess student needs and partner with local businesses, social service agencies, healthcare providers, and community volunteers to provide essential resources. The Senate formally resolves to honor CIS for its tremendous service to Georgia's youth and directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute an official copy of the resolution to the organization, effectively providing official recognition and appreciation for their work in supporting students.
