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.*
