What is a PIRC?
Parent information and Resource Centers (PIRC's) support the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act and its most important goals: parent involvement and school accountability.
NCLB places parents at the center of school improvement and student achievement. The NCLB legislation mentions parents more than 900 times. PIRCs are the Department of Education's only program with the purpose of supporting parents.
The Indiana Partnerships Center is the only Parent Information and Resource Center in the state of Indiana.
Based in Indianapolis but working throughout Indiana, The Indiana Partnerships Center directly serves approximately 20,000 parents and 750 schools per year, reaching 6,000 Limted English Proficient families and 11,000 low income families. They also work closely with 196 Title I schools, including 23 of Indiana's "schools in need of improvement."
