School-community relationships aim to be mutually helpful between schools and the local community to benefit students. The purposes of these relationships are to improve student learning and community living, as well as gain community support for public education. Developing good relationships involves providing opportunities for parent involvement, community input on issues, making the school a community center, and keeping open communication between the school and community through various organizations and home visits. Principles like leadership, cooperation, participation, coordination, friendliness, objectivity, and evaluation are key to fostering close school-community relations.
