Using a research-proven case management model, you will conduct assessments to tailor a service plan that addresses the needs of students in our CIS program. You will implement these service plans through a combination of brokered services, supported referrals, and the direct provision of services and supports.
The CIS model is based around five basics that every child needs and deserves:
a personal, one-on-one relationship with a caring adult
a safe place to learn and grow
a healthy start and a healthy future
a marketable skill to use upon graduation, and
a chance to give back to peers and community.
All CISHOT programs meet or support one or all of these five basics, and any new programming that is implemented or pursued is designed to meet one or all of these five needs.

About Us

Based in Waco, Texas, CISHOT's service area extends across McLennan, Hill, Bosque, Falls, Freestone, and Limestone Counties.
CISHOT places social services professionals in partner school districts on school campuses to provide academic, behavioral, and social interventions and supports to pre-K-12 students. CIS then leverages relationships with school administration, local businesses, social service agencies, health care professionals, and parent and volunteer organizations in order to surround students with support, addressing the needs of the whole child. The criteria for interventions we use are based on Texas Education Agency standards and is used uniformly across the 8 districts and 26 schools that are served by CISHOT.
