Introduction
The urgency of improving the quality of education by looking at the growing reality conditions cannot be postponed any longer. Increasingly developing science requires that national education needs to internationalize quality so that it is in line with developments in science and technology in the world. Therefore, a quality management system is needed so that it can achieve the best performance [1].
Reality at this time contradicts what was expected. The quality of national education is still considered low. One of the main problems faced with the quality of education at this time is the low managerial ability of school principals [2] This confirms that the role of the principal as a manager in managing the school is considered a key factor in school success, including improving teacher performance. The back and forth of an organization's performance is determined by the manager.
The principal is the most important factor and supports the progress of an educational institution and determines the direction of policy in educational institutions. As the manager of an organization the principal regulates all matters relating to organizational life. As stated by [3], management is an activity to regulate The influence of principals' managerial... various resources, both human and material, in order to carry out various activities of an organization to achieve optimal goals. The consequence of the implementation of improving the quality of education requires adequate managerial management from the principal in managing schools and organizing educational human resources. The principal is one of the components of education that has the most role in planning and improving the quality of education. As the results of research conducted by [4], show that the principal as a manager plays a role in 1) planning the program by detailing the needs of educators and education personnel who will carry out tasks, planning the curriculum to be implemented, planning policies for adding guidance subjects two hours of counseling per week; 2) create an organizational structure that involves parents through the school committee and completes the required sarpras; 3) Providing a good and calm example at work, giving motivation and appreciation to personnel both morally and materially, increasing welfare, involving educators and education personnel in training and education and motivating senior teachers to have the spirit of life long education; and 4) supervising output, PBM, and students from the admission process to completion of school.
The principal should be able to understand, master and be able to carry out activities related to his duties as an education manager in order to carry out his duties properly.
[5] stated that the role of the principal as a leader reflects the principal's responsibility to mobilize all resources in the school, so that a work ethic and high productivity are born in achieving its goals. Thus, the quality of education is highly dependent on the management of education which has a good plan, so that each implementation of these activities has clear objectives. In realizing educational goals, management is a very important factor. Therefore, in order for education to advance, it must be managed by professional education managers so as to realize the expected quality of education.
[6] stated that quality schools are influenced by a quality education process with supporting factors, adequate facilities and infrastructure and costs, proper management, and a supportive environment.
Based on the above opinion, it can be explained that improving the quality of education in schools is greatly influenced by the leadership of the principal in regulating the course of education in schools. Effective principal leadership is able to foster a strong commitment to achieving educational goals in schools. The leadership of the principal who has a good performance, the effectiveness of the school he leads will be effective. On the other hand, the principal who has a poor performance, the effectiveness of the school he leads is less effective. In other words, school leadership is one of the determining factors in school effectiveness [7].
Four principles are the basis for translating the concept of School Based Quality Improvement Management in accordance with its objectives, namely autonomy, flexibility, participation, and initiative [8].
[9] argue that 1) autonomy is defined as independence, namely independence in regulating and taking care of itself, 2) flexibility is defined as the flexibility given to schools to manage, utilize, and empower school resources optimally to improve quality school, 3) participation is the creation of an open and democratic environment, and 4) initiative has a dynamic connotation and considers and treats people in schools as very important assets and has the potential to continue to be developed.
The discussion above can be concluded that in addition to the leadership role of the principal, community participation in the delivery of education is one of the principles in translating School Based Quality Improvement Management (MPMBS), in other words, community participation starting from decision making, education implementation and education evaluation is expected to be improve the quality of education. In line with the opinion of [10] which stated that the community will be the foundation for the improvement and quality of education services provided by schools, so that a harmonious relationship between schools and the community will have a significant impact on improving the quality of education.
[11] Argues that efforts to increase parental and community participation in school management and quality improvement are confirmed by including the Education Board and School / Madrasah Committee in the third part of article 56 of Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 20 of 2003 concerning the National Education System. Then it is supported by the opinion of [12] which stated that the school / madrasah committee as an independent institution plays a role in improving the quality of service both in providing consideration, direction, support for infrastructure, and education supervision at the educational unit level. Then the opinion of [13] stated that the School Committee is an independent body, does not have a hierarchical relationship with schools or other government institutions. [14] As school committees pay attention and build commitment with the community to support school programs aimed at improving the quality of schools, school committee also act as liaison partnerships between companies and government agencies with schools through field work practices and also building facilities and infrastructure to improve quality of education confirmed through a memorandum of understanding (MOU).
The opinion above is in line with research conducted by [15] with the results of research which stated that school committees have a very important role to make a positive contribution to schools in Indonesia, both in empowerment efforts and Development of community participation in the world of education and in building education in educational units.

However, researchers found that school principals had not paid attention and built commitment with teachers and teaching staff to support school programs that aim to improve the quality of education. This can be seen where the principal was less objective in carrying out teacher performance appraisals so that all teachers were given good grades so that there was no basis for teachers to improve their performance. In addition, the implementation of supervision of teacher performance by the principal had not been maximal, causing the supervisory and coaching functions that should have been carried out to improve teacher performance had not been effective; this also greatly affects the efforts to improve the quality of education in SD Negeri of Babat Supat District.
The results of preliminary observations made by researchers related to the role of the school committee in improving the quality of public elementary schools in Babat Supat District, the researcher put forward several indicators that stated the direct involvement of the school committee in the implementation of education in several public elementary schools throughout Babat Supat District. This could be seen where the school committee paid attention and built commitment with the community to support school programs aimed at improving the quality of SD Negeri in Babat Supat District.
However, there are several problems encountered by researchers, related to the role of school committees in SD Negeri in Babat Supat District, such as only some school committee administrators actively participate in monitoring PBM activities in schools, as well as in school committee plenary meetings held at schools. From the results of research conducted by [16] the strength of the committee comes from activeness, readiness to follow up on problems, clear division of labor, and good coordination; 2) forms of committee involvement, namely: holding meetings, raising funds, controlling finances, directing and involving parents in the program, reporting the results of activities to parents.
