The results of the study have shown that the Implementation of the Regional School Operational Assistance Policy at the Junior High School level in Malang City has been running according to the objectives and according to technical instructions. All junior high schools in Malang City have received School Operational Assistance funds and have been quite good in managing them. However, there are still inhibiting factors that occur, namely the high urgency of school needs so that BOS funds cannot be disbursed quickly and there are still errors in recording accounts in using School Operational Assistance (BOS) funds. Therefore, the right advice for schools that still make mistakes is expected to be more careful and the Education Office is expected to be stricter in supervision so that no more mistakes occur. From these inhibiting factors, informants cannot provide valid data so that there is no definite data to be presented in the study.
