Parent Involvement Research Colorado Parent Information and Resource Center (CPIRC): Who We Are Click here for a list of CPIRC partners Studies confirm the widely-held belief that a parent's involvement in their child's education will significantly improve their child's chances at being successful in school. In Colorado, as in many states, programs exist that assist parents in their role as their child's first teacher. Government, the business community, and non-profit organizations recognize that early childhood education and support for parental involvement in school are critical to ensuring that Colorado children enter school ready to succeed and reach their potential. Established in 1995, the Colorado Parent Information and Resource Center (CPIRC) , funded by the U.S. Dept of Education, has established a collaboration with organizations throughout Colorado to provide parents and teachers with the information and resources they need to engage families in children's learning.

Improvement/Safety School Issues Article S C H O O L I S S U E S A R T I C L E Information Sharing to Make Colorado Schools Safer In 1994, an amended federal law opened the door for Colorado to enact a law this year to allow school and criminal justice officials to share information about violent and disruptive students. The new law is intended to help prevent future school violence. Will more states follow Colorado and the other states that have enacted this law? A year after the Columbine High School tragedy, the Colorado legislature passed a law revoking prior privacy constraints that have hindered teachers and police from sharing information about troubled students. A 1994 amendment to a federal law allowed Colorado to pass the new law. Without a state law that specifically provides for a juvenile justice exemption from the federal privacy act, federal law requires schools and criminal justice officials to obtain either the child's and parent's consent or a court subpoena to obtain records. The federal law requires that information be kept confidential because disclosure of certain information could have an impact on student and family privacy. The law is described in the 71-page Colorado School Violence Prevention and Student Discipline Manual , published by the Colorado State Attorney's office. The updated manual includes provisions for information sharing (see
