The purpose of this paper is to describe and illustrate the procedure for setting up a school-community relations program. The first chapter describes the following recommended components of such a program: using a programmatic approach, using the five school-community relations processes, and designating the primary responsibilities for the program. The next four chapters explain the procedure for implementing a program with these components. Each chapter includes a description of the goals, an explanation of the process, and a case study illustrating one step in setting up the program. By following the recommended sequence and suggestions, the paper claims, a school can establish an effective school-community relations program. (Author)
