Students and Social Workers to Share Individual Turning Points

TARRANT COUNTY – Fighting the school dropout rate continues to be one of our community’s top priorities, as an estimated 9,000 students per year leave school without a high school diploma in Tarrant County.

A leader in dropout prevention for Tarrant County for more than 26 years, Communities In Schools of Greater Tarrant County (CIS-GTC) will present a leadership panel to address the “turning point” of education at its annual fundraising luncheon.

The Turning Point – Annual Luncheon for Communities In Schools of Greater Tarrant County

Panel begins at 12:15 p.m., moderated by Bud Kennedy of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and featuring:

• Mayor Betsy Price – City of Fort Worth
