Parents and Professionals working as a team, plus volunteers, operate the PERCs. PERCs are housed within various locations throughout the state, usually in a centralized, accessible location such as a school, community center, board of education office or library. Please see directory at the end of this page. Although core services are listed below, how each PERC provides these services depends on the individual community strengths, resources and needs. The State Team provides the PERCs with parent-professional team training, information and technical assistance and maintains a strong communication network among the PERCs.
Federal funds support the coordination of the project from the state level.
Local education agencies provide the financial support for their PERCs by blending fiscal resources such as special education, Title I, state and local funds and grants. In addition, local community-based organizations, service agencies, businesses and other service organizations may provide other supports for the PERCs. Zackey-Title I Parent Coor.
