Last year, 32% of LAUSD students were chronically absent. But when CISLA is present, 100% of students show up and stay in school.
CISLA works in communities throughout Los Angeles, collaborating with parents, educators, community-based organizations, and school and district leaders to help our students overcome obstacles and succeed in school and life.
Together, we can show up for more students.
We asked CISLA site coordinators, students, parents, and administrators to share why Being Present Matters.
⏯ Watch: How CISLA shows up for students
Keep a student in school, prepare them for life.
There are many reasons that prevent students from regularly attending school ranging from transportation, mental or physical health, access to clean clothes, or food insecurity. When CISLA site coordinators are physically present inside schools, 100% of CISLA students show up and stay school. We work hand-in-hand with administrators and families to provide essential resources for student success.
Help us show up for more kids...because being present matters!
