香港在2000 年推行「校本管理」，並實施由家長參與校政決策。新政策之精神能否落實，與學校-家庭合作之關係，息息相關。本文報導一個「校本管理」推行前家長與學校接觸的投訴個案，作為家庭與學校關係討論的根據。個案顯示: 在校本管理推行之前，家長參與學校事務的情況，只停留在較低的層次，而學校和家長之間，仍沒有建立高層次校政決策參與文化的基礎。故此，面對此教育管理新潮流，學校有需要作好準備，並建立開明的機制，以提升家長參與的層次。
Hong Kong has started implementing "School-Based management" in 2000. Apart from other factors, the success of the innovation rests largely upon the home-school relationship and the attitudes of both schools and parents towards parent participation. This paper reports a complaint case before the practice of School-Based Management as the basis for discussion in this respect. It is found that parent participation still maintained at a relatively low level and both parties were not well prepared for the change. To keep pace with the new trend of development, it is suggested that schools should take the initiative role for enhancement of parent participation.
