Hence, the researcher aims to determine the role of the school community in the improvement of school's performance; the leadership of the school principal in attaining quality instructional outputs; and the factors that affect the implementation of school-based management. Specifically, this study seeks answers to the following questions: 1. What is the degree of participation of the respondents towards shared governance in the following variables: a. School leadership; b. Internal Stakeholders' Participation; c. External Stakeholders' Participation; d. School Improvement Process; e. Resource/ Financial Management; and f. School Performance Accountability? 2. What is the degree of influence of the implementation of SBM on school performance? 3. Is there a significant difference in the degree of participation of the respondents among the six districts in the following variables: a. School leadership; b. Internal Stakeholders' Participation; c. External Stakeholders' Participation; d. School Improvement Process; e. Resource/ Financial Management; and f. School Performance Accountability? 4. Is there a significant difference in the school performance among the six districts during the implementation of SBM? 5. Is there a significant relationship between the degree of participation of the respondents and the school performance in selected schools in the six districts? 6. What factors may impede the respondents in the performance of their duties/ roles in the implementation of SBM? The research study made use of the descriptive survey method and utilized the researcher-devised instrument. The items were conceived based on the literature reviewed and readings from SBM Manual 2006, SBM Manual 2009, SBM Primer on School Performance Accountability, SBM Primer on Management Practices and some of the items were chosen based from the present school situation.

There was a significant difference in the respondents' degree of participation in terms of school leadership in District I and V. However, in other variables there was no significant difference. 4. There was no significant difference on school performance among the six districts during the implementation of SBM. 5.

Data showed that there was no significant difference in the school performance among the six districts during the implementation of SBM. The second null hypothesis was accepted and the alternative was rejected. 5.
