Deadline for collection: Thursday, October 28 2021. ANSWER: Before discussing the management of school relations with the community which is sourced from research journals, we will first explain the school committee. In UUSPN No. 20 of 2003 article 56 paragraph 3 states that school/madrasah committees as independent institutions are formed and play a role in improving the quality of services by providing consideration, direction and support for personnel, infrastructure and educational supervision at the educational unit level. So, the school committee must be able to convince parents, local government, the business world and society in general that the school can be trusted. The purpose of forming a school committee is to create a school community organization that has commitment and loyalty and cares about improving the quality of schools. Then, as stated in the question, there are 4 functions of the school committee, namely supporting, advisory (consideration), controlling (controller), and mediator (mediator). Further explanation of each function will be explained as follows: 1) Supporting (supporter) As a supporting agency, whether in the form of finance, ideas, or energy in providing education in educational units. The function in school management is school planning, such as providing input to RAPBS, implementing programs, curriculum, PBM and assessment, such as providing input on the learning process to teachers, then procurement of educational resources (HR and budget), such as providing considerations about educational staff who can be seconded. . 2) Advisory (consideration) As an advisory agency in determining and implementing educational policies in educational units. Then in school management, its function includes resources such as monitoring the condition of educational personnel, facilities and infrastructure such as mobilizing aid for facilities/infrastructure, as well as budgets such as evaluating the implementation of budget support. 3) Controlling (controller) As a controller (controlling agency) in the framework of transparency and accountability for the implementation and output of education in educational units. In this case, the school committee must control or supervise school planning matters such as supervision of the quality of planning, its implementation such as supervision of program scheduling, and also the results of education itself (output) such as assessment of National Examination results. 4) Mediator As a mediator agency between the government (executive) and the community in educational units. For this, planning includes identifying educational aspirations in society, implementation such as socializing madrasa education policies and programs to the community, and resources such as identifying resources in schools and communities. The following is a discussion from a research journal regarding Public Relations Management with the Community entitled "Public Relations Management in Increasing the Role of School Committees in Preschool Sabila Ponorogo" by Wilis Werdiningsih. According to Ruslan (2008: 31), Public Relations Management or public relations is a series of two-way communication activities between schools and the community to carry out planning, organizing, implementing and evaluating activities in an effort to achieve educational goals for students. This research journal discusses PAUD Sabila which was founded in 2017 and this school has implemented public relations management by actively involving the students' parents in various activities at the school. The school always holds discussions with the committee on every activity that will be carried out. Apart from that, on various occasions, the school empowers the role of student guardians to take part in managing school activities. Suharsimi Arikunto (2015: 262) describes the form of school relations with the community into four forms, namely the relationship between the school and the parents of students and the community, which individually contributes to the school, namely parents voluntarily come to school to convey suggestions. who build or contribute to the progress of the school. Since its founding until now, PAUD Sabila has provided space for the school committee to participate in all school activities. Every year, committee changes occur. The committee is selected randomly by the teacher council from the parents of students with certain criteria, especially parents who are considered capable and have free time to take part in thinking about school activities. For every school activity, a committee is always formed. In this committee, the number of teachers and committee members is balanced. This is an effort to ensure that the school activities held represent all the aspirations of stakeholders. The committee is a communication bridge between the school and the student's parents. Through the committee, all student parents can provide input regarding ongoing school programs and school activities that will be held. Not only does it accommodate the aspirations of student parents, the committee also acts as a liaison for the agenda of activities to be carried out by the school so that these activities receive responses from student parents in general, including responses from committee members. And through the committee, schools can also measure the level of satisfaction of parents from ongoing school activities. So that every activity held at PAUD Sabila is the result of an agreement between the teacher and the committee. In general, the school committee carries out two forms of communication, namely First, Communication External is the committee's communication with the teacher council and also the foundation management. This communication includes providing criticism and suggestions from committee members as well as conveying input from student parents as a whole. Through this communication, the school provides information regarding all school activities to committee members. Second, internal communication is communication between committee members and all PAUD Sabila student parents. This communication is carried out both formally in small meetings held by the committee itself and informally when meeting in a forum between parents. Through this communication, school committee members can accommodate the aspirations of all PAUD Sabila student parents. An example of the school committee's contribution to PAUD Sabila is in the planning that has been carried out by the school which is then submitted to the foundation to obtain input and approval, then submitted to the committee to be discussed in more detail regarding the preparations in a meeting activity. The committee and the school exchange ideas in finalizing the planning. As for organizing, during pre-implementation and during implementation, committee members consisting of the school and the committee coordinate so that preparation and implementation can run smoothly. Coordination is not only direct but also indirect by utilizing the WhatsApp group. Then in communication, all preparation and implementation activities are communicated to the student parents as a form of transparency and provide space for all student parents to provide criticism and suggestions, either through the committee or directly to the teacher council. The school makes every effort to establish good communication with student parents. In other research regarding the Function and Role of School Committees in Improving the Quality of Education (case studies at SMK Negeri 2 Tasikmalaya and SMK Negeri 3 Tasikmalaya), the role of school committees in preparing work plans and school budgets in both schools is quite good with the ability of school committees in analyzing, anticipate problems, coordinate and integrate everything that arises from the proposed work plan and school budget submitted by the school. The school committee's efforts in collaborating with the community and government in both schools are quite good, with the school committee's ability to collaborate with the community and government and being able to establish communication with parents and community leaders in order to develop the quality of school education. Here I will provide my comments on the journal or research results conducted by Wilis Werdiningsih. Based on the results of his research regarding the relationship between the school and the community, which is the school committee and is formed from the parents of the students, good results or relationships between the school and the community have been obtained. Public Relations Management has also been carried out very well because PAUD Sabila involves the community or school committee (parents of students) to participate in learning activities at PAUD by involving them in all existing activities, even from the educational planning of PAUD Sabila. In my opinion, the function of the committee that should exist has been carried out very well, it can be seen from how the school committee took the time, energy and thought to participate in discussions regarding the preparation of the plans that have been planned well, how to implement them, and also in the implementation of this school committee. has an important role because education at PAUD Sabila cannot be handed over 100% to PAUD because the supporting role of parents at home is very large in achieving maximum educational goals. If there is something the student's parents want to complain about or convey regarding the learning process, the school committee will discuss it and consider it together with the school to produce the best decision for all parties. And the school committee can also control whether the implementation is appropriate or not by knowing the planning that has been carried out and can even act as an intermediary for the school and other parents if there is a problem that needs to be discussed and can even be said to be a bridge or facilitator. Then my comment on the second journal is that from the results of the research, it can be clearly seen the function and role played by the school committee in improving the quality of education at SMK Negeri 2 Tasikmalaya and SMK Negeri 3 Tasikmalaya because the school committee gives consideration to SMK Negeri 2 and SMK Negeri 3 Tasikmalaya is adjusted to the development of its school program and together discusses it with a sense of responsibility in accordance with the school activity program. Next, the school committee holds a joint meeting with the school to ratify the results of the work plan and school budget which have been discussed together in accordance with the school program and the results are accounted for and coordinated with the parties interested in its implementation. The school committee also contributes to planning the school's work plan/budget, raising funds, and collaborating with external parties.
