The main results indicate that Jaboatão dos Guararapes (1) is among the 6% of municipalities in Brazil that hold elections in accordance with Goal 19 of the National Education Plan (2014-2024), (2) uses mixed selection to choose school managers, and (3) guarantees, in the text of the law, provisions for the progressive advancement of the school community’s participation in the electoral process, through the creation of a school electoral commission.
