SDPRN is a Parent Information and Resource Center funded through a discretionary grant from the US Department of Education, Office of Innovations and Improvements. Established in 1995, SDPRN provides information and training to effectively engage families in the educational success of children.

SDPRN has developed informational materials and training opportunities for parents and educators that are grounded in relevant research and best practices. These resources are designed to:

• Help parents understand the provisions and opportunities of the No Child Left Behind Act.
• Build the capacity of parents to support their children’s development and academic achievement from birth through high school.
• Assist schools to create partnerships and capitalize on the involvement of parents in their efforts to improve academic achievements.
