Abstract
This study aims to describe the practice of school financial governance. Three elements of financial governance are participation, accountability, and transparency. Qualitative data analysis was used to analyze the data of this study. Questionnaires, interviews collected data, and focus group discussions. The participants were teachers, employees and principals of elementary and junior high schools in Jambi City. The results of the study found that school financial management was good. The highest application is on the element of accountability, while the lowest application is on transparency. The causes of the not yet optimal school financial management understanding of parents and the community still need to be improved. Human resources in schools are still limited. In addition, the role of school supervisors also needs to be increased to play an active role in academics and oversee financial aspects.
