  The Kansas Parent Information Resource Center has developed a series of Brown Bag Presentations that businesses can share with their employees (parents and non-parents alike), concerning the No Child Left Behind legislation and how parents can assist their children's learning. Each "Brown Bag" is focused on a different topic and contains several handouts that you can reproduce or that are readily available for free from the federal government. We have also included "Talking Points" that will assist you in facilitating a discussion with parents on ways they can help their children to be successful in school. Thank you for being a partner in helping us help parents!
