PRESIDENT OBAMA RECOGNIZES COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS AS A MODEL PROGRAM! The President affirmed his commitment to reducing the dropout rate and ensuring that students have the support they need to succeed in school and beyond. In his comments, the President specifically praised the work of Communities In Schools: "As my Education Secretary, Arne Duncan, says, our kids get only one chance at an education, and we need to get it right. Of course, getting it right requires more than just transforming our lowest performing schools. It requires giving students who are behind in school a chance to catch up and a path to a diploma. It requires focusing on students, who face factors at home, in the neighborhood, or in school that put them at risk of dropping out. So that's why we'll build on the efforts of places like Communities in Schools that make sure kids who are at risk of dropping out have one-on-one support."
