Promoting Community Involvement in Schools

Community Involvement
School Community – Each group within a neighborhood brings their own unique influence and
connection.
The Different Connection Levels
A movement to support higher involvement is essential to attracting more community members and
strengthening the school community.
TIER ONE
Parent-teacher groups are prominent in schools, and are found at the national, state, and local levels and
offer membership benefits and a planned structure. Students need to be included in the planning of these
positive activities.
TIER TWO
School Spirit and pride is critical to reaching out to the second level of stakeholders: family friends,
physical neighbors to the school, local civic organizations, and the town’s Chamber of Commerce.
It’s a good practice to open the school building to meaningful local events and to sponsor free seminars
and workshops on topics of interest that stretch beyond the school.
TIER THREE
The final level of involvement or tier three comes from the school’s larger audience: corporations and
large civic groups. Schools need to be proactive in maintaining a positive relationship with this tier. The
goodwill this foster strengthens and promotes beneficial and positive commitment.
