1. (a) Pursuant to the Texas Education Code, §33.156, each local Communities In Schools (CIS) program must provide cash or in-kind contributions to operate the CIS program in an amount equal to at least 25% of the total funding allocated to the local CIS program by the Texas Education Agency (TEA). The contribution may be met using private, local, state, or federal sources.
