How are the children?

Last night at State of Our Students, we brought together community leaders, partners and advocates to explore what the answer means for the future of Central Texas.

Mayor Kirk Watson reflected on our shared responsibility to support children across our region. We’re grateful to Dr. Benny Goldman of Cornell University for sharing research on the long-term impact of Communities In Schools’ integrated student supports and what those findings mean for economic opportunity.

Most importantly, we heard directly from our expert panel, Central Texas students, about what it means to feel supported, connected and hopeful about their futures.
A special thank you to Amplify Credit Union, our presenting sponsor, for helping make this important conversation possible.

For more than 40 years, Communities In Schools of Central Texas has surrounded students with a community of support. Because when students thrive, our community thrives. 💙

Thank you to our students, speakers, partners and everyone who joined us.

"Every child deserves a relationship with a caring adult."

On National Support Public Education Day, we're celebrating the educators, counselors, program managers and caring adults who make that belief a reality every day.

At Communities In Schools of Central Texas, we know that student success starts with relationships. By placing dedicated site coordinators inside schools, we connect students with trusted adults and the academic, mental health and basic needs resources they need to stay in school and achieve in life.

Supporting public education means supporting the whole child, because every student deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.

Tag an educator, counselor, program manager or caring adult who made a difference in your life. Let's celebrate them today. ❤️
