What is the Parent Resource Center?
In operation since November 1992, the
PWCS' Office of Special Education Parent Resource Center (PRC)'s mission
is to assist parents and families of children with disabilities to become
active participants in their child's education. Its goal is to promote a positive relationship between parents and educators.
The PRC provides
information, lending library, and supports parents regarding the special education process in
Prince William County, and will refer parents to appropriate resources in the
Division and the community. PRC staff may not serve as advocates for
parents in School Intervention, IEP, or Eligibility meetings or attend a
Central Office Review, State Mediation, or Due Process Hearing.
