The reflections presented here are the result of a theoretical research of documentary nature, whose discursive analytical centrality focuses on the right to quality education and its modes of realization in different contexts. In this text, we make a cut with respect to the constitutional principle of management, analyzing the consequences of such a principle for school management. The investigative corpus is composed of legal devices that approach this theme establishing a dialogue with the productions of Libâneo, Oliveira e Toschi, Medeiros e Luce e Lück. Through the Content Analysis Technique, we defined four thematic axes which were established based on the analytical incursion made in the investigative corpus, namely: conception of democratic management, school management team, instances of participation, organization and planning of management action. The main findings of the study are systematized in two topics: challenges and perspectives. As for the challenges we highlight the need to consolidate a school culture based on dialogue, participation and co-responsibility of those who make up an educational community. Regarding the perspectives, we emphasize that democratic management can be a mobilizing dimension of the competences of the various actors that make up the educational community, contributing to the synergy between them, in order to consolidate a quality education.
