Communities In Schools contracted with EMSI to quantify its economic and social returns to society through a rigorous third-party investment analysis. Members of the Communities In Schools leadership team will be on hand to discuss the results of this report. The purpose of this important next step is to quantify the return on investment CIS' 113 high school-serving affiliates in its network to taxpayers, businesses, and students.
