Parent Partners has provided services to families and educators in Title 1 schools, schools in urban areas and to NC’s lowest performing schools since 1985.
Parent Partners is funded through a grant from the US Department of Education, Office of Innovation and Improvement.
NC Governor Beverly Purdue proclaims
October 2009 as
Parent Involvement Month!
Governor Beverly Eaves Purdue has proclaimed October 2009 as "Parent Involvement Month" in North Carolina. The Exceptional Children's Assistance Center (ECAC), which includes the North Carolina Parent Information and Resource Center (NC PIRC), and the North Carolina Parent Training and Information Center (NC PTI), the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NC DPI) and the North Carolina Parent Teacher Association (NCPTA) join with the Governor to celebrate the year round contributions made by parents and the educators who value the critical role of parents in student achievement. When parents are involved children are more likely to have higher grades, higher test scores, higher graduation rates, better self-esteem, better attendance, lower suspension rates and decreased use of alcohol and drugs.
