The Indiana Partnerships Center works to empower parents about their rights
and responsibilities pertaining to their children’s education in the following
ways:
Providing parent-focused workshops that are scheduled by schools, community
groups, or parent groups (to learn more, see “workshops” on our navigation
menu).
Providing education-related information and resource materials, including
information about the state (PL221) and federal (No Child Left Behind)
accountability laws.
Helping schools develop parent engagement strategies that provide
opportunities for parents to become decision-makers in their children's school,
resources for school improvement, and mentors to others.
*The Indiana Partnerships Center is Indiana's Parent Information and Resource
Center (PIRC), funded in part by the U.S. Department of Education, Office
of Innovation and Improvement.*
