Completely, the school committee’s performance as a supporting agency in public schools is better than private schools. It is assumed because of the variety of the school
committee’s professions that are considered bring advantage toward the schools in the term of maintaining the relation with private sectors and education stakeholder. Moreover, there is an
awareness and great care from education stakeholder in helping the quality improvement in schools. This result has the same result in Adriani 2010 and Kumilayla 2010’s research
that the school committee involved both in school programs and extracurricular that were indicated in doing cooperation with the business and industry world and as s result it brought
academic and non-academic achievement toward the schools themselves.

the lack of the school committee’s understanding in public schools about the role, function and duty of the school committee as a controlling agency. The result is
similar to Hartadi’s 2012 research that showed the school committee as a controlling agency did not involve in school programs. It caused by the
