The Maryland State Parental Information Resource Center (PIRC) welcomes you!

Our website contains links to many resources -- including books, reports, presentations, and training guides -- to inform parent and community advocates in their efforts to:

- improve communications between parents and educators;
- increase parent participation in their children's learning; and
- help parents address problems (e.g., legal issues) pertaining to their children's education.
