This study analyzed the causes and put forward countermeasures and effective ways to strengthen parents’ and teachers’ participation in school management. Specifically, it aimed to describe the profile of the respondents in terms of sex, age, education level and teaching experience; determine parent involvement ; determine the parental involvement in terms of parents’ rights, parents participation , parents’ awareness, and home school cooperation; assess the teacher involvement in school management in terms of administrative work , education and teaching, and logistic support ; test the difference of responses when grouped according to profile variables; test the relationship between parental and teacher participation in school management; and propose an action plan for an improved parental and teacher involvement in school management based on the results of the study. The results showed that the surveyed teachers were mostly female, aged between 24 and 45, with a bachelor’s degree and 1-5 years of teaching experience. In terms of parents’ involvement in school management, parents’ rights, participation, awareness and home – school cooperation are agreed to be exercised by parents. In terms of teachers’ involvement in school management, education and training are highly focused function of teachers while administrative work and logistic support are not much obligated. Sex, age, and teaching experience have no significant influence on teachers’ participation in school management. However, the participation is not affected by age or sex, and the content of participation of people of different sex is different. The participation of parents and teachers in school management is closely related to the development of schools, therefore, the more parents and teachers participate in school management, the more scientific the method, the better the development of the school. An action plan was proposed to improve parents’ and teachers’ involvement in school management.
