本文构建并探讨了家长和社区参与学校治理的假设，即家长和社区参与可以通过促进学校表现和学校-社区关系的改善以及通过充当围绕社区发展问题的集体行动的催化剂来对社区发展产生积极影响。它通过以学校为基础的管理改革的案例研究来做到这一点，这些改革导致了包括肯塔基州、夏威夷、芝加哥和埃尔帕索的家长和社区代表在内的学校所在地委员会的创建。文章发现，当家长在学校被赋予有意义的决策权、非政府组织为家长提供培训和倡导、校长积极促进家长参与时，假设的结果就会发生。
This article builds and explores the hypothesis that parent and community participation in school governance can have positive impacts on community development by fostering improvements in school performance and school— community relations and by acting as a catalyst for collective action around community-development issues. It does so through case studies of reforms for school-based management that have led to the creation of school-site councils that include parents and community representatives in Kentucky, Hawaii, Chicago, and El Paso. The article finds that the hypothesized outcomes can occur where parents are given meaningful decision-making authority in schools, nongovernmental organizations provide training and advocacy for parents, and principals actively facilitate parent involvement.
