Standard 6: E xternal D evelopment L eadership A school executive will design structures and processes that result in community engagement, support, and ownership. Acknowledging that schools no longer reflect but, in fact, build community, the leader proactively creates with staff, opportunities for parents/guardians, community, and business representatives to participate as “stockholders” in the school such that continued investment of resources and good will are not left to chance.





**6a. Parent and Community Involvement and Outreach**: The school executive designs structures and processes which result in parent and community engagement, support and ownership for the school.
