ALCANTARA, ALZIRA BATALHA and PFEIL, MARCIA LISBOA. Democratic management of public education in Rio das Ostras (RJ): advances and setbacks. Revista Brasileira de Política e Administração da Educação [online]. 2020, vol.36, n.1, pp.177-196. Epub July 27, 2020. ISSN 2447-4193. https://doi.org/10.21573/vol36n12020.95886.
This article, based on bibliographical and documentary research, investigated the institutional normative bases of democratic management in Rio das Ostras, a municipality of the state of Rio de Janeiro. The Organic Law highlight the democratic management, having the participation and the election of a director as central points. However, the laws that created the system and the municipal plan do not foresee election, guiding management under a managerialist bias. It is concluded that there was a weakening of democratic management in Rio das Ostras, especially in the mechanisms that should promote participation.
