(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. (b) In-kind contributions may include the use of facilities, office space, and equipment and the provision of administrative services, program services, and supplies. (c) The TEA may choose not to award funding to a local CIS program if the TEA determines that the total estimated allocation by the TEA and the local CIS program's matching contribution of 25% is insufficient to adequately serve the required number of case-managed students as determined in §89.1507 of this title (relating to Case-Managed Students).
