School social work plays an increasingly important role in school governance and student support by addressing the interconnected needs of students, families, schools, and communities. Through services such as needs assessment, case management, crisis intervention, family engagement, and resource coordination, school social workers promote inclusive, preventive, and student-centered governance. Despite challenges including unclear professional roles, limited institutional support, and weak interprofessional collaboration, school social work can strengthen student wellbeing and educational equity through early identification, tiered intervention, community partnerships, and continuous outcome evaluation. It should be recognized as a key professional resource in modern school governance rather than merely a crisis-response service.
