TI - Parents as stakeholders in the school management process
AB - In the article, the author analyses the role of significant risk factors in school management and the decision-making process including aspirations of and potential actions taken by parents as the stakeholders. The aim of this article is to provide a preliminary identification of complex school-parents interactions. The focus of this article is on the Polish education system and the principles of primary and secondary school operations, irrespective of their management style or status. The author focuses on the influence of parents on the school management process and the potential results of these interactions for the school management, using research that includes the analysis of legal acts and the results of a pilot study in the form of an electronic questionnaire addressed to school headmasters and teachers, as well as a questionnaire for parents of students attending public and private schools. The author presents the results of research on legal acts concerning the functioning of schools in Poland in the context of parental participation. Additionally, results of the pilot surveys taken by parents and teachers were presented. Against the background of the analysis of the existing legal rules, recommendations were drawn up for further research and construction of a cooperation model between the school and the parents, in order to minimise the risk of conflicts and actions taken in opposition to school managers.
