School in Community
School in Community is a local initiative that promotes school-community management. It is implemented in Guadalajara, Jalisco. The School Board, made up of the principal and teachers of the chosen school, as well as representatives of parents and leaders in the area, identifies and prioritizes issues affecting the school and community, and develops a plan to reduce and eliminate the causes of them. The ultimate goal of the initiative is to improve the educational quality of the school in which it is applied.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
