I recently had the pleasure of visiting CIS of Southern Nevada in Las Vegas and attending a post-SSI event at Whataburger. It was an incredible experience meeting alumni who were being interviewed for employment opportunities along with members from the Alumni Executive Council. I also had the chance to connect with Site Coordinators and Program Managers who work tirelessly to show up for our CIS students even when it's hard! Additionally, I visited JD Smith Middle School, where I had the honor of speaking with their talented mariachi group. It was inspiring to see their passion and dedication, and I encouraged them to continue honing their skills and sharing their talents with the world. On day 3 of SSI, one of our outstanding CIS alums shared her story with our attendees and reminded us to listen to alumni and embrace what they bring to the table. I'm so proud of Jessica Cole for always being authentic and always representing alumni in such a positive light. Thank you to everyone who made this trip memorable and impactful! A very special thanks to Allie Watters and Candice J. from Whataburger for their ongoing support of CIS, Fiorella O. and Treasha Parker for their incredible efforts to grow the CIS alumni community, and my colleague Kevin Lei for planning and organizing such a wonderful post SSI event! #Networking #CommunityEngagement #Inspiration #LasVegas #Whataburger #Mariachi #BeingPresentMatters #CISNational

Chronic absenteeism is not just about individual students—it affects entire classrooms, slowing learning and driving down academic outcomes. In a new Op-Ed in The 74 Media, Dr. Bob Balfanz and Hedy Chang highlight the widespread impact of extreme absenteeism and the urgent need for systemic solutions. While some progress has been made since the pandemic, absenteeism remains highly elevated across the country. Schools that have successfully improved attendance have done so through comprehensive, data-driven strategies. Join the Partnership for Student Success Attendance Solutions Network to access proven approaches, collaborate with peers, and take meaningful steps to address chronic absenteeism.
