Answer: In Kepmendiknas No.044/U/2002 it is stated that the roles that must be carried out by school committees and education boards are (1) Advisory Agency (giving consideration); (2) Supporting Agency (supporting educational service activities); (3) Controlling Agency (controller of educational service activities) and; (4) Mediator (liaison or communication link between the community and the government). a) Providing support (supporting) The school committee's role as a supporting agency or provider of support means that the school committee is an agency that provides support to the school in the form of financial funds, energy and thoughts. In the research conducted in this journal, to see an overview of the role of the school committee in providing support or support, it can be done through three question indicators, namely: (1) the school committee has collaborated with the community and government regarding the provision of quality education; (2) the school committee has developed innovative programs that have a direct impact on encouraging parents and the community to participate in education, and (3) the school committee has raised funds from the community, both individuals, organizations and the business world to finance the provision of education. The form of cooperation between the school committee and the community and/or government is to participate in supervising the implementation of the teaching and learning process, holding meetings with the teacher council, student parents and UPTD to discuss improving the quality of education in the school environment and deciding on the costs that can be collected from student parents and community in the school environment. b) Giving consideration (advisory) The school committee acts as an advisory agency or body providing considerations to schools or foundations. In this research there are five (5) indicators to describe the role of the school committee in providing considerations. These indicators include: the role of school committees in planning educational policies and programs, the role of school committees in preparing RAPBS and educational provision facilities, the role of school committees in providing recommendations to school principals regarding school policies and programs, the role of school committees in preparing various criteria, standards, norms and guidelines required in the implementation of education in schools and the role of school committees in preparing educational regulations in schools. c) Carry out supervision (controlling) The school committee also has a role as a controlling agency, namely the body that carries out social supervision over the school. Social supervision carried out has more social implications and is carried out preventively, such as when schools prepare RAPBS or when schools prepare accountability reports to the community. In this research journal, to describe the role of the committee in carrying out supervision (controlling agency), five indicator questions are used, including: (1) the school committee has supervised the implementation of recommendations regarding educational policies and programs while also asking the school for clarification regarding recommendations that have not been implemented for evaluation; (2) the school committee evaluates the innovative program on an ongoing basis; (3) the school committee carries out monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of policies, programs and activities as well as the results of activities that have been carried out; (4) the school committee submits periodic reports regarding activities and results of supervision of related parties. d) Liaison (mediator) The school committee also plays a role as a mediator or liaison between the school and the community or as a liaison between the school and the government and/or the business world or industrial world, which is a very important role for education, especially vocational education. As a mediator, the role of the committee for the process components is a form of real support for schools so they can improve the quality of their education. Based on research results in journals, less than half of school committees (30%) carry out mediation to support learning components. Comments on research results Based on several journals that I have read and written down the functions of the school committee, it can be seen that the school committee is running well. Judging from its function and role, it is running well and as it should. The journal also states that the school committee plays a vital role in public relations management, acting as a supervisor, provider of advice and support, and a liaison or mediator between the school and the community and between the school and the government.
