H.R. No. 341 is a resolution recognizing March 4, 2025, as Communities In Schools Day at the Texas State Capitol. The resolution commends Communities In Schools (CIS) of Texas for its significant contributions to the lives of youth and their families since its establishment in 1979. As the largest provider of school-based behavioral health services in the state, CIS has expanded to 27 affiliates and has effectively addressed issues such as chronic absenteeism and low academic performance. The organization has demonstrated impressive outcomes, with 99% of the over 122,000 students served last year remaining in school, and high rates of grade promotion, academic improvement, and graduation among seniors.

The resolution highlights the vital role of CIS staff and mental health professionals in providing trauma-informed interventions that enhance student well-being and academic success. By offering services free of charge on school campuses, CIS not only supports students but also leverages state funding with additional local resources, creating a significant multiplier effect that allows them to assist even more students in need. The Texas House of Representatives expresses its high regard for CIS and the essential support it provides to young Texans, underscoring the organization's importance in preparing students for successful futures.
