In 2006, the Communities In Schools of North Texas board of directors commissioned CISNT’s Advisory Council. The CISNT Advisory Council is a growing and dynamic group of civic, community and business leaders who are committed to the growth of our dropout prevention programs. Many schools across North Texas are in need of a CISNT campus program but lack of funding has limited our ability to expand our programs into these schools. The CISNT Advisory Council provides CISNT consultative advice and direction vital to the continued growth and expansion of our dropout prevention programs across North Texas.
