I come from a very small community and having the community provide a lot of help is rare and scarce. Having community involvement in a school is vital and beneficial for everyone.  Since there is a lack of partner ship I would try to advocate how important the partnership is by speaking to community members about the positive impacts their partnership has. Along with that, I would display models or statistics of community involvement thus showing them the results and the effects it has on the children.  I think one of the main reasons a community doesn't get involved is because they are not well informed about why it is so important and how it can really effect the ones around then. Providing that information I am hoping would spur them on to get more involved with the school and that partnership will be great.
