Abstract
This study investigates the participatory management of Parents-Teachers' Associations (PTAs) in public elementary schools in Butuan City, Philippines, aiming to assess the extent of their involvement in school governance and identify the roles of various stakeholders in fostering educational outcomes. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews. The survey was administered to PTA officers, alumni, student government officers, and Local Government Unit (LGU) representatives. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The results indicate that PTAs are highly involved in decision-making, policy creation, and community activities, with significant contributions in areas such as safety, student behavior, financial assistance, and waste management. However, the study also revealed challenges in sustaining consistent financial support from parents. In conclusion, PTAs in Butuan City play a crucial role in enhancing school governance, and the study recommends establishing a structured PTA Academy further to strengthen their participation and effectiveness in school management.
