This essay analyses the implementation of the School Development Plan (PDE-School) in two educational units in Limeira, SP, who presented the Ideb/2007 below the national average and were directed to adopt the program starting in 2009. The PDE-School is a program of the Federal Government which proclaims itself capable of enabling the school autonomy, better educational outcomes and the modernization of the school structure, organization and management by means of administrative managerial models. The purpose of this qualitative study was to ascertain whether the objectives outlined for this program, with respect to the guarantee of school autonomy, gain concreteness in practice. The methodology used was case studies based on data collection (semi-structured interviews and questionnaires, documentary analysis and literature review). The results indicated the imposition of a standardized and bureaucratic system, based on mechanisms of monitoring, request and control that hindered the gradual conquest of pedagogic, administrative and financial autonomy of the schools surveyed.

Keywords : PDE-School; School Autonomy; School Management.
