Florida Parental Involvement in Education Month

On September 8, Governor Charlie Crist signed a proclamation designating November 2008 as Florida Parental Involvement in Education Month. This public statement recognizes that family involvement in a child’s learning is critical to his/her success from preschool through college. It also declares that learning should take place not just in the classroom, but at home where family plays an active role.


Additional activities can be found at the Florida Parental Information and Resource Center at the University of South Florida (USF) Web site, www.floridapirc.usf.edu, and the FL PIRC of Family Network on Disabilities of Florida (FND) Web site http://www.fndfl.org/projects/pirc/index.asp.
