Community Stakeholders
Community Involvement in Education
Developing a partnership between the community and the school is the foundation for producing successful young adults. This partnership creates a support system that enables students to have success in the classroom, and make connections that will be beneficial as they enter the workforce. Although family involvement plays a pivotal role in a child’s academic success, the support and engagement of all stakeholders is crucial for the success of a community and its schools.
