Education in the era of disruption demands adaptive, innovative, and sustainability-oriented leadership. One approach aligned with these demands is green leadership, a leadership model that integrates ecological values and sustainability principles into educational management. Purwakarta Regency has developed the Tatanén di Balé Atikan (TdBA) model as a local wisdom based educational innovation emphasizing harmony between humans and the environment. This study aims to describe the implementation of school principals’ green leadership in TdBA model schools and examine its contribution to educational governance in the disruption era. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, the research involved principals, teachers, and school stakeholders as informants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis, then analyzed thematically. The findings reveal that principals’ green leadership is manifested through ecological vision, green school policies, and community collaboration supporting TdBA activities. This leadership reinforces sustainable, participatory, and contextually responsive school governance. The study concludes that green leadership serves as an effective educational leadership strategy for maintaining relevance and competitiveness in the era of disruption.
