JOB TITLE:
Executive Director, Community In Schools of Durham,
Durham NC
Organization
Founded in 1992, Communities In Schools of Durham (CIS of Durham) is an
independent nonprofit with a proven history of meeting its mission to “surround students with a
community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.” Although it is
governed by its own Board of Directors, CIS of Durham is one of 38 affiliates in the
Communities In Schools of North Carolina network and the larger national network of CIS
programs. Independent research on CIS programs across the country has shown the CIS model to
be one of the most effective in decreasing high school dropouts and increasing high school
graduation. While each affiliate is different, each must meet stringent national guidelines. CIS of
Durham has gained a well-deserved reputation with an emphasis on evidence-based
programming. It is an active member of the statewide Alliance for Evidence-Based Family
Strengthening Programs and uses several programs endorsed by this group. It is also one of the
first CIS affiliates in the country to be part of a multi-year Harvard University study funded by
Department of Education seeking to improve reading outcomes for elementary-aged children. In
2010 the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation recognized the work of CIS of Durham in its 2010
Annual Report.
CIS of Durham works collaboratively with the Durham Public Schools and other like-minded
nonprofit organizations. Through combined efforts, graduation rates in the Durham Public
Schools increased from 63% in 2007-2008 to 80% in 2012-13. In addition, the number of
dropouts decreased from 520 in each of the years from 2005-2007 to 378 in 2010-11, a 27%
decrease. Last year, CIS of Durham served 4,500 students through its programs in 18 elementary,
one middle, and three high schools including the Durham Performance Learning Center (PLC) a
non-traditional high school for students at risk of dropping out. The PLC was created as a
collaboration between CIS of Durham and the school system. CIS of Durham provides its
services through three innovative programs: READS for Summer Learning which is entering into
year four of a five-year research study impacting seven counties in NC, the Graduation Coach
program, and the Incredible Years Training Series, which includes a14-week training for parents
with children in elementary school and a six-month teacher classroom management program. In
addition, the organization is focusing on cultural competency, a parent advisory council, and a
local capacity building project using implementation science. CIS of Durham is also a key player
in several Durham-based education initiatives including the East Durham Children’s Initiative,
Made In Durham, and the Durham Education Partners.
CIS of Durham is governed by a twelve-member Board of Directors (including the Executive
Director), and its members bring a range of expertise, connections and an entrepreneurial
perspective from the fields of education, business, finance and research. The Executive Director
oversees a staff of nine with four direct reports. In addition, the organization contracts out
finance, IT, parent educator and childcare positions (around 20 contract positions) and employs
two seasonal part-time staff for the READS Summer Learning program. More than 100
volunteers augment the work of staff. The 2013-14 budget is $865,254 with government funding
representing 27% of revenues, foundations 25%, special events 33% and the remaining 15%
primarily from businesses, in-kind, individuals and the United Way. In 2012 Band Together NC
selected CIS of Durham and CIS of Wake County as the recipients of the 2014 concert which
could result in the two organizations sharing more than $1 million in proceeds.
Candidate Description
The next Executive Director will be leading an organization that operates effective programs,
has worked hard to build strong relationships with the Durham Public Schools, has a strong
internal leadership team, will have stable funding for the next year and enjoys a very good
reputation in the community. It is a place where practice based on research goes hand in hand
with a deep caring and concern for children and families – especially those who have challenges
both in life and in school. As an organization, it has promoted a culture in which diverse
opinions are appreciated, understanding and practice of cultural competency is valued,
and new ideas are encouraged.
Although the Executive Director must know the day-to-day work and operations of CIS of
Durham, he/she needs to be the visionary, forward-thinking leader who positions the
organization in the Durham community while staying informed of best practices to serve
students and their families. The Board and staff are in the final stages of a new strategic
plan that the new leader will need to understand, implement and evaluate.
The Executive Director must be able to work with and advocate for students and their families
within the Durham Public Schools, the Durham community and at times the state and beyond,
which in today’s economic environment is a challenge. The Executive Director must be present
and known in the places where large numbers of students are at risk for dropping out. He/she
must be able to build and participate in collaborative efforts towards common goals. He/she will
be working in a region steeped in academics, cutting-edge businesses, creative people and a rich
tradition of philanthropy and voluntarism, but he/she must also know how to reap these resources
in a very competitive nonprofit environment. It would be helpful to understand Durham–its
politics, movers and shakers; its entrepreneurial and quirky spirit and its challenges.
Fundraising will be a daily agenda item. Funding is stable – for now, but CIS of Durham needs
to diversify and expand its funding base. The Executive Director will need to work with the
Board and the Development Director to create a plan for diversification. Government and
foundation grants will continue to play a major role, and the next leader must also be an effective
fundraiser with individuals and corporations. Planning for Band Together will be in full swing at
the beginning of the year, and the next leader will co-lead this effort in Durham, in partnership
with CIS of Wake County.
CIS of Durham has grown quickly during the last seven years. The Executive Director must
make sure that HR policies are current; that finance, accounting and reporting procedures are
adequate and that the CIS Data Management System is accurate. He/she must also ensure that
employees are clear in what is expected of them; celebrated when things are going well and
provided feedback and guidance as necessary. Teamwork and open communication are highly
valued.
The ideal candidate will be an effective and thoughtful leader, strong on vision as well as
implementation who exemplifies the power of relationship building; has a deep understanding
and respect for students struggling to succeed in school and in life; the ability to absorb research
and its applications for practice and someone who believes in the impact of a caring community
on the future of its children. This is a great opportunity to lead a well-regarded organization to its
next era of increasing graduation rates and decreasing dropouts in the Durham Public Schools.
