Pateikiamos kai kurios sociologinio tyrimo, atlikto Anykščių miesto mokyklose, išvados, atskleidžiamas ryšys tarp bendruomeniškumo, pilietiškumo ir savivaldos.

ENThe author analyses if the council of school is the result of legal norms set by the government or the necessity arising from the manner of life of school community. The research in three schools of Anykščiai was conducted in order to find out the main aspects of functioning of school councils. The members of the council of three schools (60 respondents) and experts (45 respondents) - randomly selected members of schools community were the target group of research. The results of research confirmed the hypothesis that the council of school community is the result of legal norms but not the inner necessity of school. 81% of respondents found the council of school as necessary body, which helps them to solve problems and build democracy at school. However, the members of the council of school limit their activities till formal ones' meetings, discussions, etc., but do not use other informal forms of communication - cultural or social events, holidays and etc. The conclusion: there is no inner necessity for such activities. Although most of respondents support the existence of council of school, believe in its influence solving school problems. It makes us to believe that in the future the council of school will pW important role in democracy development process. [From the publication]
