Alaska Parent Information and Resource Center
The Alaska Parent Information and Resource Center (www.akpirc.org) in partnership with school districts and other agencies, provides information and resources to increase parent/family involvement in their children's schools, student learning, and child development. Each of the school district partners supports the activities of AKPIRC through the parent outreach activities of Language and Culture Liaisons while RurAL CAP implements two Parents as Teachers (PAT) programs and provides statewide training for all PAT family visitors.
As part of a federal demonstration project, AKPIRC has also partnered with the Center on Innovation and Improvement as a pilot state for the Supplemental Educational Services (SES) Outreach Project by providing training and support for community organizations to inform parents about school choice and SES options available to them.
