U.S. Department of Education
Office of Innovation and Improvement and Center for
Faith-Based and Community Initiatives
The
Parental Information and Resource Centers Grant
Program provides grants to nonprofit agencies, including
faith-based and community organizations, or consortia
of nonprofit agencies and school districts to fund
information centers that will help parents participate
more effectively in their children's education.
To accomplish this goal, they will provide information
to school personnel who work with parents; coordinate
early childhood programs with school-age programs;
and inform the parents of children who attend schools
in need of improvement about their options. The
Secretary of Education is placing special emphasis
this year on first-time applicants and applicants
who propose specific strategies to help parents
better understand their State accountability system
and how to access the public school choice and supplemental
education services opportunities provided by the
No Child Left Behind Act
