Students and parents can provide honest feedback about what works and what doesn't work in school facilities since they are the primary users. Research shows that parental involvement positively influences student achievement, attitudes, and behavior. Including parents and the community in developing a shared vision for education can lead to broader support for schools and new ideas from a diverse planning team. When engaging the community, the questions must go beyond just asking what people want to seeking input on future needs, and decisions should not already be made without community involvement.

It always been said that if you want an honest answer, ask a child.

Participation by
students will add yet another dimension to the planning process. Students are the
primary users of the facilities and can tell us with little bias what works and what
doesn’t. Parental involvement in the process usually means financial support, but also
brings with it an added bonus. Research shows that parental involvement has a
positive influence on students’ academic achievement, attitudes, and behavior, and
including parents as an integral part of the planning process increases the likelihood
of continued participation in their child’s education, leading to greater student
success.

One caution — participatory planning means asking AND listening. The purpose must
be to engage the community, not to seek buy-in on decisions already made. The
questions must go far beyond asking, “What do you want?” A person’s perspective is
formed by his/her own experience in school, and too often their “wants” are
influenced by past memories instead of future needs. The starting point should be the
development of a shared “vision” for education. Including members of the community
in this process can assure a broader role for schools in the community. A diverse
planning team can come up with stimulating new ideas, understandings, and future
support for the educational activities of a school system.
