IMPLEMENTASI KEBIJAKAN DANA BANTUAN OPERASIONAL SEKOLAH (BOS) DI SDN 1 LASUSUA (MODEL GOGGIN)

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the School Operational Assistance
(BOS) policy at SDN 1 Lasusua using Goggin’s Policy Implementation Model. This
research employed a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through
in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving the principal, BOS
treasurer, and teachers. Data analysis was conducted interactively through data
reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the
content of the BOS policy has been well understood by policy implementers at the
school level. Policy communication as an intervening variable has been carried out
through socialization activities and school meetings; however, policy understanding
has not been evenly distributed among all implementers. The implementation of
BOS funds has positively contributed to school operational activities and the
learning process. The implementation environment and implementers’ capacity
generally support policy execution, although administrative constraints, limitations
of the online reporting system, and delays in fund disbursement remain challenges.
This study confirms that policy communication plays a strategic role in linking policy
content and implementation outcomes and serves as a key factor in enhancing the
effectiveness of BOS policy implementation in primary schools.
