The 2019-20 school year was quite a year! CISDR began the year with the additional support and confidence of the Texas Legislature to expand our services across the Dallas region. Then, when schools began to shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we pivoted to distance learning and tele-counseling. Throughout 2019-20, more than 50,000 students had access to CISDR help on campus and in the virtual space. 7,582 K-12 students benefited from individualized CISDR support, including tutoring, counseling, home visits, and parent intervention. Of these students:
- 82% improved in academics, behavior and/or attendance
- 99% were promoted to the next grade
- 97% of eligible seniors graduated
- 100% stayed in school
