The democratic management within state public schools in Alagoas

This article aims to analyze the educational legislation that refers to democratic management in Alagoas, verifying the possible contributions and obstacles of this model in the state public school in that state of the Brazilian federation. Carried out through bibliographical and documentary research, it fits the qualitative approach. Based on the national educational legislation, to the example of the Law of Directives and Bases of the National Education no 9.394 of December 20, 1996 and, mainly, from studies of the normative framework that guided the construction of the democratic management in Alagoas, this work develops documentary research. It is on the basis of this framework that we seek sustainability to achieve the intended objectives. Thus, it was possible to perceive that normatives in Alagoas were elaborated in consonance with national legislation and according to the socio-political configuration of the Brazilian society, promoting the establishment of a regulatory framework which promote local projects targeting a broader and more participative school management. This management model represented a radical and significant cut in the mandated model previously established in the state public schools in Alagoas, without, however, being the solution to eradicate the educational problems that public educational schools bring throughout the years of formal education in the state.
