Peran dan fungsi komite sekolah di SD Negeri 5 Banda Aceh masih memiliki kekurangan, terutama dalam pengambilan kebijakan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis keterlibatan komite sekolah dalam proses pengambilan keputusan dengan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif. Subjek penelitian mencakup komite sekolah, kepala sekolah, dan 19 guru, dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara dan angket, serta analisis menggunakan metode Miles dan Huberman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa komite sekolah tidak selalu dilibatkan dalam penentuan kebijakan karena berbagai kendala. Namun, komite tetap berperan penting dalam meningkatkan mutu pendidikan melalui komunikasi, pemantauan, dan pemberian masukan strategis. Dukungan komite terhadap pelaksanaan Kurikulum Merdeka serta kolaborasinya dengan kepala sekolah terbukti meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan, dengan hasil angket menunjukkan skor sangat baik (92,10%). Meskipun keterlibatan komite tidak selalu konsisten, sinergi antara komite sekolah, kepala sekolah, dan Dinas Pendidikan Kota Banda Aceh terbukti efektif dalam mewujudkan tujuan pendidikan yang berkualitas.AbstractThe role and function of the school committee at SD Negeri 5 Banda Aceh still have shortcomings, particularly in policymaking.
