CISSC’s direct partnership with 41 schools across South Carolina ensures over 25,500 students access a high-quality education. School-based CISSC staff collaborates with educators to identify and address challenges students may face, both within the classroom and at home. This collaborative effort extends to coordinating with community partners and providing essential resources like food, clothing, and mental health counseling within the school environment.
