Call to Action! President's Education Budget Eliminates Sole Federal Parent Engagement Program - We have a serious situation requiring a major call-to-action. President Obama's new budget proposes to consolidate and eliminate the Parental Information and Resource Centers (PIRCs). Consolidation of the PIRCs will eliminate the only federal program dedicated to family engagement, which serves 16.4 million parents. The proposed FY11 budget would eliminate 62 PIRCs impacting every state and territory. This program elimination affects all PTAs and parents.
Parents need PIRCs. You can help! Please urge the Obama Administration, both of your Senators and Representatives not to eliminate PIRCs.
