Abstract	This research aimed to investigate the extent of stakeholders' participation, type of support, and opportunities offered by the Gulayan sa Paaralan Program (GPP) according to the perceptions of 300 public school teachers in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental for school year 2024–2025. A descriptive quantitative research design was used in this study, and data were gathered via a validated structured questionnaire and were computed using frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The study reported that school administrators and teachers manifested high levels of participation in implementing the program. Parents and barangay officials had moderate participation, but external stakeholders like NGOs and private organizations were minimal in their participation. With regard to assistance, the respondents recognized the provision of material and technical support largely from the Department of Education and local government units but raised issues regarding the long-term funding and availability of resources. The study further recognized significant areas of professional development among teachers, such as skills in gardening, environmental education, and leadership. These results concur with subsequent literature highlighting the importance of community involvement and teacher empowerment for ensuring the sustainability of school-level programs. The study concludes that although the intra-school community is crucial to maintaining the GPP, enhanced external partnerships and regular provision of resources are essential for its sustainability. Recommendations are to strengthen multi-sectoral collaboration, institutionalize support structures, and incorporate GPP in the school curriculum to strengthen both its educational and environmental goals.
