This article aims to explore different concepts about the terms governance, governing, and governability, inserted in a perspective of the influence of management modes. We seek to present concepts that influence school management, as well as a counterpoint to the emergence idea of a new management model for state schools in Santa Catarina (SC). After conceptualizing these terms, the school organization is introduced through adherence to a governance model with roots in business administration. Different interpretations of the concept of governance stand out in the analyzes, one of which is used to represent the management model used by the state schools of SC as a participatory and democratic model. Finally, the article presents the laws and decrees that resulted in this new model implementation, together with a brief analysis of texts and the conjuncture in which the implementation occurred. For the conclusions of this study, we highlighted that despite school management moving towards democratic directions through legislation and theories, the practice still happens in the old centralized and hierarchical molds in which the new governance model is nothing more than the restructuring of the old one school organization.

Keywords : school management; governance; democratization.
