In a school community, it is important that all stakeholders have the opportunity to participate. They should be involved in communication, networking, communication and decision-making. By involving the local community, your school demonstrates that it does not wish to seclude itself, but rather play and active part in society. 

Firstly, stakeholders need to be sensitized or educated on how their support and involvement can benefit schools in their communities. This can be done via handouts and meetings. After, the school can then look into ways of getting them directly involved.

The school can get external stakeholders to participate by capitalizing on their strengths.

A skill resource bank can be created to call on various qualified personnel when needed.

 A challenge I foresee with this is, not everyone is cooperative and willing to support activities or events in the community. Sometimes you are left with just a mere handful of committed persons.
