Community and Parental Involvement in Schools

One important factor for the success of any school is parental and community involvement. Not all parental and community involvement is beneficial to the effective running of a school. If the involvement is critical or likely to generate negative reactions from the administration, faculty, and staff it can damage the overall effectiveness of a school. On the other hand, there is a lot of evidence of the positive effects of parental and community involvement. Research shows that it makes a difference in the success of the entire school. Therefore, let's make sure there is a positive parental and community partnership with the school your child attends. It will make a difference in the quality of all the children's' education. In order for our children to "Get the Best Education Possible," everyone must get involved.
