The perspective of health promotion, present in public policies, give inputs of knowledge beyond self-care. It starts from an understanding that places the role of the State and collective subjects at the center of the debate. With this in mind, the aim of this research was to understand how education and health leaders in the municipalities of the Mid Southwest of Bahia territory use the official guidelines of the Health at School Program to develop educational actions that promote health in the schools of their municipalities. As a theoretical-methodological contribution, we used the Policy Cycle, postulated by Ball and Bowe (1992), with an emphasis on the Context of Practice, whose approach was qualitative and the data produced through the application of questionnaires, then analyzed by evidence (Yin, 2015). The results show that the joint work of the education and health sectors appears to be an efficient strategy for planning and developing the population's health, although this was a point that still appears somewhat fragile in some of the municipalities under study. In addition, they highlighted the lack of specific training for working groups to consider intersectorality and health promotion as guiding elements for collective actions. In this way, the results corroborated the essentiality of the leading role of intersectoral actions for health promotion.
