Steven McCullough ，

Good book by Bill Milliken。 Puts the work of CIS in context of the good and bad of education in America。Academics alone don't solve the dropout epidemic。 Strong community engagement and a system that leverage caring adults makes a difference。 Good book by Bill Milliken。 Puts the work of CIS in context of the good and bad of education in America。Academics alone don't solve the dropout epidemic。 Strong community engagement and a system that leverage caring adults makes a difference。 。。。more

Great book about how communities can stop the drop-out crisis。 Its a little heavy on events and policy， but a great read never-the-less。

Shawn ，

Excellent model for community-based provision of social services， surrounding the schoolhouse as a focal point。 Strengthens the argument for collaboration between government （schools/services） and nonprofits （services） in order to repair the social fabric that is often damaged by our increasingly mobile and financially independent society。

This is a fantastic non-fiction book about the dropout epidemic in America。。。

Bill Milliken started Communities In Schools， the organization I work for and so in essence it's very informative， but it isn't geared towards people who are already working on stopping the drop out epidemic。 I found this aspect slightly frustrating as at one point he mentions how one of his friends got him a meeting with Carter but then when Carter lost reelection， he was just introduced to Barbara Bush and so he told her all about the program。 That just doesn't happen to real people。 I was sli Bill Milliken started Communities In Schools， the organization I work for and so in essence it's very informative， but it isn't geared towards people who are already working on stopping the drop out epidemic。 I found this aspect slightly frustrating as at one point he mentions how one of his friends got him a meeting with Carter but then when Carter lost reelection， he was just introduced to Barbara Bush and so he told her all about the program。 That just doesn't happen to real people。 I was slightly disappointed as I was hoping for more informational aspects or a little more insight at how he started the program， not that he had this friend who happened to be friends with this one guy who happened to be president of Morgan Stanley。 Though， if you any of y'all know the president of Morgan Stanley and you want to set up a meeting。。。 。。。more
